Leadership
Headquartered in Rochester, NY, Goodwill of the Finger Lakes along with Goodwill Vision Enterprises (formally known as ABVI) has a very long and successful history of doing a lot of good in the Rochester community and Finger Lakes Region. While Goodwill of the Finger Lakes was created in 2010, our history as ABVI dates to 1911. Our mission programs and services impact the lives of more than 387,000 people whom we are proud to serve annually across the Rochester community, Finger Lakes Region and beyond.
We recently updated our mission statement to “Elevating people, community, and planet for a good today and better tomorrow.” It reminds us of how our own people are connected not just within our communities, but in the work we do and the impact we are able to make across the region.
As we often say—Goodwill is so much more than a store! We are committed now more than ever to embrace collaborations with our neighbors — nonprofits and corporations alike — to ensure community stays at the heart of everything we do.
On behalf of our Goodwill of the Finger Lakes team and our Board of Directors, we want to express our sincerest gratitude for your continuous generosity and support extended to us over the past 111 years. Supporting our community programs and services better positions us to achieve our future strategic initiatives, while strengthening our impact across the communities we serve. Your generosity allows us to continue to be an integral part of helping to move the Rochester community and Finger Lakes Region FORWARD. And 111 years later, our good work continues!
