About the business: Items donated to Goodwill are sold in various stores throughout northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. The money raised is used to help achieve Goodwill’s mission: To provide jobs, training and placement services for the disabled.
What we offer: Goodwill sells gently used products as well as new items such as overstocks and closeouts from some of the best known stores in the state.
What’s new: With the completion of our newly remodeled building, the Sterling Goodwill Store has gone from 10,600 square feet to 15,600 square feet. The Sterling Goodwill is the first in the area to feature a “drive-through” donation function that allows donors to more easily and quickly drop off their items without having to enter the store.
The store also now features a large “community room” that allows local groups and organizations to have a conference or classroom style space with seating for 24, Internet connectivity, and audiovisual equipment available for their meetings at no charge. To inquire about the use of our Community Room, please call 815-625-1740.
What makes our business special: Good stuff. Good prices. Good cause. Goodwill!
Hiring? Goodwill is always looking to add valuable new members to our team. Please apply in person at our Sterling Goodwill store.
Any additional comments? Last year, donations to Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois diverted more than 2 million pounds of recycled material from area landfills.
