About Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette

Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette (GICW) is a nationwide program that offers vocational support and opportunities for the disabled and people with significant employment barriers. They have offices across several cities in Oregon, including this one in Albany. This facility is near Highway 34 and about 1.5 miles north of Takena Landing Park.

They support individuals in recovery from substance use disorder, formerly incarcerated individuals and those experiencing homelessness. They can also support youths aging out of foster care and survivors of domestic violence. Clients served have challenges ranging from lack of stable housing, limited work experience and gaps in education or skills. This makes it more difficult for them to secure and maintain jobs.

Comprehensive Recovery Social Support Services

You can think of GICW as recovery social support services providers. From career counseling to educational and vocational training and housing, these services are essential in helping you maintain stability and lasting abstinence as you progress in your recovery journey.

They can provide resumes & cover letters, personalized job leads & referrals and skill reviews & assessments. Their specialized Training and Development program involves three employment-focused training that can really be helpful in your current and ongoing career needs. These specialized training projects include Career Centers (CC) and employee community education (ECE).

ECE provides free educational workshops and class opportunities that foster personal and professional skills building. The services encompass leadership development workshops, career building and financial literacy alongside health & wellness and family strengthening. The Career Center provides Microsoft Office, Google Workspace and Computer Basics classes. These trainings facilitate fast reentry into the labor market as you move forward in recovery. The best part is that the classes are available both virtually and onsite.

Services for Seamless Re-Entry

GICW can seamlessly link you to employers willing to work with employees in recovery through their network of partners. They provide housing support and assist with navigating homelessness. This support may include help with finding temporary shelter, securing permanent housing and accessing financial assistance for housing needs.

They may offer assistance in financing your rent even while on residential care. Most of these services are part of their Foundation Community Supports (FCS), which supports people with extreme job and employment issues. It’s all about helping you achieve stability and independence as you move forward in your recovery journey.

Prices are outrageous. You get the items for free and then charge 4x what they are worth. Goodwill used to be just that, something to give good will forth. Instead they now take minimal donations, pay the employees awful, and the ceo gets bonuses bigger than salaries every year. How giving of them. Go to Super thrift or helping hands about 5 minutes away. Less stock but much more fairly priced.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Friendly people and everything is pretty clean. They update the aisles often. There are a lot of large sizes available.

I've VERY rarely had a good experience at any of the Goodwill locations especially donating items. They are so picky about what they'll take that I might as well sell them myself, or offer them for free on Facebook. I've been turned away so many times that I've given up donating items to this organization. They have refused to take items that are in like new condition just because I didn't have the original packaging!! Your donations sprog do more good if you took them to an actual non-profit anyway.

Response from the owner
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your negative experiences while donating at our locations. We strive to make the donation process as easy as possible, and we understand how frustrating it can be when we are unable to accept items. Our goal is to ensure that we are able to distribute donations in a way that benefits both the community and our programs. Sometimes, we have specific guidelines based on space limitations or safety regulations, but we appreciate your generosity and want to make the donation process better.

If you have any further concerns or suggestions, please email us at Marketing@gicw.org. Your input helps us improve. We hope you’ll consider donating again in the future. Thank you for your support!

Editing my review after shopping here for two years. The stock is meh and there is almost no sales color tags. I went in the other day and the two things I was considering was a target jacket without tags and an 8 year old book. It would have been just short of $40 ($30+8)!! For a used jacket and random old book! You don't even get donation coupons at this location.
