Sharing Resources and
Spreading Goodwill
Goodwill Industries has been working toward its mission of assisting
people with disabilities or vocational disadvantages with achieving full
participation and integration into the community through the power of
work for more than 100 years.
Goodwill Industries of Kanawha Valley (GIKV), headquartered in Charleston,
is making strides toward that goal every day. In 2017, Goodwill helped
2,053 people in West Virginia develop the skills needed to become
employed. These services impact not only those who are now gainfully
employed but also the businesses they work for. For companies in the
Capital City looking for qualified employees, Goodwill provides skilled
workers in catering, clerical work, customer service, food service,
hospitality, janitorial, office management and retail.
In an effort to make an even bigger impact on Charleston’s business
community, GIKV now offers a full-service conference center on the
city’s historic West Side. The Goodwill Conference Center is a newly
remodeled, accessible facility that seats up to 70 people, features top-
notch technology and light catering and is conveniently located just off
of I-64 on Virginia Street West. Whether planning a board meeting,
off-site executive huddle or training seminar, the Goodwill Conference
Center is a great option with multiple set-up configuration capabilities
and incremental and full-day rates available.
The conference center is built around a self-sustaining training model that
houses the GoodHOST program, which provides credentialed hospitality
training and employment opportunities to West Virginians. Schedule a
facility tour or save the date by contacting Tia Welch at (304) 346-0811
