The Problem:
More Than a Million Residents in the Bay Area Live in Poverty

Far too many of our neighbors in the Bay Area don’t have the resources to meet their basic needs, nor the necessary skills to break into the job market and earn a living wage. Or they must work multiple jobs to simply put food on the table for their children or fill a prescription.
Our Solution:
Creating a Bay Area Where Nobody is Left Behind
Goodwill San Francisco Bay’s guiding principle is that everybody deserves a second chance—and everybody deserves access to training, job opportunities, and support to succeed in our economy.
