As an employer in Virginia, Goodwill gives back to the communities we serve beyond our vocational programs. We generate tax revenue that supports our local economies. In 2009 the VGN member organizations operated 69 retail stores that returned millions in Virginia sales tax on gross revenues of more than $72,000,000. Those same donated goods salvage programs kept over 38 million pounds of refuse out of Virginia landfills.
Through our workforce development initiatives, the VGN employed nearly 3,000 workers supporting programs that provided almost 60,000 people employment services.
