Retail Re-tag Rally! logo
Goodwill of Western Missouri and Eastern Kansas operates fourteen stores across the Kansas City metropolitan area and beyond. Sales of generous donations raise money for jobs and employment services in our communities. Volunteers play a critical role in the success of our stores.

Our Retail Re-Tag Rally is part of a pilot project for four area Goodwill locations. We will be evaluating several new retail initiatives in a few stores, including displays, product lines and pricing on select items. Our goal with this project, as always, is to maximize the generous donations we receive so we can continue to allocate 88¢ of every dollar we spend towards local programs for job seekers with different abilities.

We are looking for groups of about ten to join us for one night to re-tag select items in our stores. Dinner is on us! See location and date options, below.

In Support of Goodwill of Western Missouri & Eastern Kansas

Goodwill of Western Missouri and Eastern Kansas (Goodwill) empowers people to discover their potential and adapt for the future through the power of work. We help job seekers throughout the entire employment continuum; we support individuals in engaging the workforce, retaining work, gaining skills, and advancing their careers. In 2020, we served 12,065 individuals and placed 601 people into new employment.


Goodwill provides workforce development services, job training, and employment in 82 counties across western Missouri and eastern Kansas, focusing our programs in the following counties: Jackson, Clay, Platte, Wyandotte, and Johnson. We support individuals with different abilities and disadvantaging conditions, such as persons with physical challenges or cognitive disorders, limited education and work history, criminal backgrounds, underemployment or unemployment, or a situational barrier such as lack of transportation or housing.


We believe every person deserves the opportunity to work. Employment is more than a paycheck. It is independence, agency, dignity, and equality. Jobs empower people to support themselves and their loved ones, pursue life goals, and participate in their communities. 


Goodwill impacts lives through three strategies customized to meet participants’ unique needs:


● Our donated goods retail model provides employment, career planning, and upskilling through the recycling and reselling of material donations in our stores. 

● Our commercial and government contracts offer case management and employment for individuals with a different ability. 

● Our employment services and workforce development programs provide job training, job coaching, career placement, and ongoing retention supports for people with severe barriers to employment.


Over our 127 years, we have served over 630,000 people, provided over 23,017,000 services and secured over 203,000 jobs.
