Goodwill is much more than a store, and we want to share what we do with you. Sign up for a free warehouse tour of our Gorham, Maine warehouse!

You are invited to see “Behind the scenes” of Goodwill NNE. On this tour, you will meet us, ask questions, and witness how we divert 50 million pounds of stuff each year from our local landfills. Along the way, you will learn about Goodwill’s mission and how our programs will help bring 10,000 people into personality stability by 2027.

We love what we do and we are excited to share what we do with you.

You’ll see:

  • Where unsold items from Goodwill’s stores go to get a second (and third and fourth) chance
  • Items – like jewelry and antiques – in the online store
  • How Goodwill upcycles and recycles computers and technology
  • T-shirts cut into wiping cloths
  • The Goodwill “Buy the Pound” outlet store
