GOO D STARTS H E RE .

Every donation has a story. Every purchase has a purpose. And every opportunity created through Goodwill-Suncoast starts with people in our local communities. Throughout 2025–2026, that connection between community support and community impact continued to guide everything we do.

The sale of donated and new goods helps fund programs and services that empower individuals to achieve greater self-sufficiency, strengthen communities and support environmental stewardship.

Those programs help people prepare for work, advance childhood literacy, provide opportunities for people with disabilities, support survivors of human trafficking, help women successfully return to society, provide affordable housing, encourage career readiness and financial literacy, and connect people with resources that can help them move forward. At Goodwill-Suncoast, good really does start here.

Sometimes the simplest way to describe Goodwill-Suncoast is also the best: people helping people. A neighbor cleans out a closet and makes a donation. Someone else finds exactly what they need in one of our stores. A student gains confidence through a workplace experience. A child receives a book to call their own. A job seeker finds help preparing for an interview. A woman is empowered to return to her community with a new career path. Each may seem like a separate moment, but together they tell the Goodwill story. During 2025–2026, we continued to strengthen the connection between our donated-goods operation and the Mission Services it helps make possible. We expanded opportunities for learning and work, strengthened programs serving people facing barriers to employment and continued finding new ways to keep usable materials in circulation and out of local landfills. Our BookWorks childhood literacy program continued putting books directly into the hands and homes of children throughout West Central Florida. Employment programs provided people of all abilities with opportunities to develop workplace skills through training, internships and hands-on experiences. Job Connection remained a free resource for people looking for guidance, technology, training and support as they navigated their next career step. Our commitment also extends far beyond employment. GoodwillSuncoast continued providing affordable housing for seniors and people with disabilities, helping women successfully transition from incarceration back into their communities, supporting survivors of human trafficking, preparing young people for their futures and bringing volunteers together to strengthen the communities we all share.

And through it all, the generosity of our donors and the loyalty of our shoppers helped make the work possible—along with the many partners who believe in the potential of the people we serve. Together, we’re creating opportunities today that change lives tomorrow. With gratitude,

Deborah A. Passerini, M.Ed., CE President and Chief Executive Officer Goodwill Industries-Suncoast, Inc.

A LEGAC Y BY TH E N U M B E RS 37 years of service to Goodwill-Suncoast 23 years as President and CEO $8M to $60M+ growth in annual operating revenue 1,200 employees by the mid-2000s 18 retail stores by the mid-2000s 63,000 people served annually by the mid-2000s #1 among Goodwill organizations in people served #1 among Goodwill organizations in job placements

H O N O R I N G T H E L E G A C Y O F R . L E E WA I T S For nearly four decades, R. Lee Waits helped shape Goodwill-Suncoast into the organization we know today—guided by a belief in lifelong learning, the dignity and power of work, and the importance of second chances. Lee joined Goodwill Industries-Suncoast in 1976 and served the organization for 37 years, holding a number of leadership positions before becoming President and CEO in 1990. He would lead GoodwillSuncoast for the next 23 years, until his retirement in 2013. Those numbers alone tell part of an extraordinary story. But perhaps an even greater measure of Lee’s legacy can be found in how dramatically Goodwill-Suncoast and its impact grew during his leadership. When Lee became President and CEO, Goodwill-Suncoast had less than $8 million in annual operating revenue. By the end

of his tenure, annual revenue had grown to more than $60 million—resources that helped the organization significantly expand its reach, programs and services.

housing, and continued its longstanding commitment to helping people successfully return to their communities following incarceration.

By the mid-2000s, Goodwill-Suncoast had grown to approximately 1,200 employees, operated 18 retail stores and was serving approximately 63,000 people annually. Among the nation’s 173 Goodwill organizations at the time, Goodwill-Suncoast ranked No. 1 in people served and No. 1 in job placements.

Lee also understood the important connection between Goodwill’s retail operations and its Mission. He helped modernize and expand the organization’s retail presence, recognizing that every donated item and every purchase represented something much greater: an opportunity to generate resources that could be invested back into programs and services that change lives.

But for Lee, growth was never simply about getting bigger. It was about creating more opportunities to change lives. During his years of leadership, GoodwillSuncoast expanded employment and training opportunities for people facing barriers to work, strengthened services for people with disabilities, advanced childhood literacy, developed affordable and accessible

That same commitment could be seen in Goodwill-Suncoast’s Re-Entry Services. By 2010, the organization operated what was identified as Florida’s largest privately contracted work-release program—along with additional state and federal re-entry and substance-abuse programs.

His influence extended beyond GoodwillSuncoast as well. Lee served on the Goodwill Industries International Board of Directors and its Executive Council, sharing his experience and perspective with Goodwill leaders across the country and around the world. Yet Lee’s legacy cannot be measured solely in years, dollars, stores, programs or people served. He believed deeply in creating opportunities for people to discover what they could accomplish when given the right support, resources and chance to succeed. That philosophy helped establish a foundation that continues to guide Goodwill-Suncoast today. When he retired in 2013, Lee reflected that he had originally come to Goodwill hoping to help people facing significant life challenges and barriers to employment. After 37 years,

he recognized that the experience had transformed his own life as well. R. Lee Waits passed away on January 26, 2025, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy of service and leadership. He is survived by his wife, Gail. Today, his influence can still be seen throughout Goodwill-Suncoast—in our stores and programs, in our commitment to lifelong learning and the power of work, and most importantly, in the thousands of people who find opportunity, independence and a fresh start through our Mission. And now, one of the programs Lee helped start will carry forward another part of who he was. In Lee’s memory, a generous donation was made to BookWorks to provide children’s books about music. The books will become part of BookWorks readings and will be

given to children to take home and enjoy— helping foster not only a love of reading but, like Lee, a love of music. Lee was a talented musician whose own love of music began at an early age. He played flute and timpani, and was student conductor for his high school band. It is a fitting connection. BookWorks was one of the programs Lee helped start, and these books will carry forward two things that meant so much to him: the opportunity to help children learn and a lifelong love of music. We are grateful for Lee’s 37 years of service, his vision and his unwavering belief in the potential of every person. Through the programs he helped build, the people whose lives he touched—and now, a new generation of children discovering the joy of books and music—Lee’s legacy continues.

what we A SSISTAN CE

OUR MISSION: Transforming lives through lifelong learning and the power of work while seeking ways to enhance our communities’ environmental resources. For generations, Goodwill has been associated with donations and thrift stores. But those stores are only the beginning of the story. When you donate to or shop at Goodwill-Suncoast, you help support programs and services designed to create opportunity throughout West Central Florida. Our Mission Services advance childhood literacy, help people prepare for and find employment, provide training and work experiences for people with disabilities, support women successfully returning to society, provide affordable housing for seniors and people with disabilities, encourage financial and digital literacy and connect people with resources that can help them move forward. Meanwhile, the very nature of Goodwill’s donated-goods model supports a more sustainable community by extending the useful life of clothing, furniture, household goods and other materials. One donation can do a surprising amount of good.

Mission programs

LIFE LO N G LE ARNIN G STARTS WITH A BOO K A book can spark an imagination, introduce a new idea, and open a child’s eyes to possibilities they have never considered. But first, a child needs access to one. BookWorks puts reading within reach. Since 1999, Goodwill-Suncoast’s BookWorks program has worked to put books into the hands and homes of children who might not otherwise have them. Volunteers read with children at Head Start centers and other locations, while BookWorks also distributes books through elementary-school initiatives throughout the region. The goal extends far beyond learning to read. Literacy is one of the foundations for success in school, employment and life. By encouraging children to develop a relationship with books early, BookWorks

supports the same ideals of lifelong learning and self-sufficiency that shape GoodwillSuncoast’s broader mission. And there is something particularly powerful about participating in a reading, calling out a child’s name, and then saying to that child as they walk up to you, “This book is yours.” During 2025–2026, volunteers, educators, community partners and donors helped BookWorks continue making that moment possible for children throughout the communities we serve. 447 volunteers contributed 5,420 hours cleaning and preparing books for reading and distribution through our BookWorks children’s literacy program, helping provide 90,768 books to 66,975 children from families in need.

E XPE RIE N CE BUILDS CO N FID E N CE Across Goodwill-Suncoast employment and training programs, people of different ages and abilities have opportunities to build skills, gain real-world experience and move toward greater independence. The JET (Job, Education and Training) program helps high school-age individuals of all abilities prepare for employment through pre-employment instruction and paid, onthe-job training. Participants take part in after-school, student-led internships, with employment coaching available throughout the experience. JET offers workforce experience in areas such as retail, food service, hospitality, e-commerce and lifttruck operation. Project SEARCH provides another path to workplace experience. In the high school transition program, students participate in paid internships and rotate through real workplace environments while receiving support from Goodwill job coaches, educators, and host-business employees. The program is designed to help students build practical skills and prepare for employment after graduation. The goal across these programs is larger than learning how to perform a job. It is about building confidence, independence and the ability to envision what comes next. SUCCESS STORY: HOW RICHARD MARTIN TURNED LIMITED EXPERIENCE INTO A CAREER OPPORTUNITY When Project SEARCH graduate Richard Martin entered the program, he had a clear career goal: gain experience in food service.

But during Project SEARCH orientation, Richard was introduced to a range of career possibilities, including an HR internship focused on clerical and administrative work. Although office work wasn’t part of his original plan, Richard was willing to try something new. Through his internship, he gained hands-on experience in data entry, organization, administrative support and workplace communication. Along the way, he discovered strengths he hadn’t previously considered and began expanding his career interests beyond food service. That willingness to explore a new path would prove to be wise.

Richard has now completed his first 60 days on the job, earning $18.86 an hour along with benefits. For someone who entered Project SEARCH expecting to pursue food service, landing a well-paying position in an entirely different field marked an exciting start to his career. Richard’s story shows what can happen when someone is willing to explore opportunities beyond their original plan. By trying something new, he discovered abilities he didn’t know he had and developed skills that opened the door to employment. His flexibility, preparation and commitment helped turn limited work experience into a promising new career path.

Richard learned about a data-entry position offering competitive pay and benefits. The job required a Level 3 background clearance, a process that could take two to three months to complete. Richard and his support team researched the position, reviewed the requirements and prepared carefully for the interview. Despite having limited previous work experience, Richard was able to confidently discuss the skills he had developed through his Project SEARCH internship. The interviewer was impressed and offered him the position on the spot. Richard then began the lengthy clearance process, which included local, county and national background checks. While waiting, he continued practicing and strengthening his data-entry skills so he would be ready to succeed once cleared to begin work. His patience and persistence paid off.

CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES COME ON! Richard Martin looks sharp as he attends the Project SEARCH End-ofYear Ceremony.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT: JET, PROJECT SEARCH

TU RNIN G A GOAL INTO A PL AN Knowing what you want to do is one thing. Knowing how to get there is another. Goodwill-Suncoast’s Career Navigation program is available, at no cost, to both the public and Goodwill employees. Career Navigation Specialists help individuals identify career goals and map out the education or training needed to reach them—whether that means college, trade certifications, professional licenses or workforce credentials. Participants can receive guidance in areas including time management, goal setting, career exploration and mapping, enrollment preparation and skills for school. Through the Tuition Assistance Program, team members can also pursue certificates, professional certifications, licenses and college degrees that align with their career aspirations and support their personal and professional growth. But Career Navigation reaches well beyond traditional education and career

planning. Across Goodwill-Suncoast, the program supports learning and professional development throughout the organization, partnering with Retail, Risk Management, Human Resources, Leadership and IT, to name a few, while also providing financial literacy opportunities for team members.

Financial wellness is another important part of the program. This year, more than 420 team members were supported through financial wellness programs and strategic partnerships with local financial institutions, including workshops designed to build practical financial knowledge and confidence.

Retail team members can earn industryrecognized credentials through the National Retail Federation, while Safety Champions receive support in obtaining Red Cross certification. Career Navigation also helps strengthen onboarding for new team members and develops current and emerging leaders through CORE, providing a deeper understanding of Goodwill-Suncoast’s mission, operations and organizational culture.

And lastly, each year, the Celebration of Learning recognizes team members who have invested in their own growth and development—reinforcing GoodwillSuncoast’s commitment to lifelong learning throughout the organization. This year we recognized the achievements of 196 engaged team members.

As technology continues to reshape the workplace, Career Navigation is helping team members prepare for what’s next through Google AI Essentials, which introduces practical artificial intelligence concepts and the responsible use of generative AI tools.

By helping people turn an idea into a roadmap—and providing opportunities to keep learning along the way—Career Navigation makes professional growth feel more manageable, and the next step much more achievable.

TAKIN G TH E N E X T STE P Looking for work can be overwhelming. A resume may need updating. Technology may have changed. An interview can feel intimidating. Transportation, childcare or training needs may add layers of difficulty. Goodwill-Suncoast’s Job Connection Centers are located within Goodwill retail stores and provide services, at no cost, designed to help job seekers access resources and develop skills that can lead to greater employment success. Services are also available online at MyJobConnection.org.

SUCCESS STORY: SHASTA SIGARLAKI ON DISCOVERING A NETWORK OF SUPPORT THROUGH GOODWILL

SUCCESS STORY: KYAH LAMBERT ON FINDING A WAY BACK INTO THE WORKFORCE

Shastina came to the Riverview Job Connection ready to get back to work. She attended a hiring event at the Riverview Store and was hired as a Processing Lead.

After nearly 15 years away from the workforce, Kyah Lambert was ready to return. But she worried that the long gap on her resume might keep employers from giving her a second look.

Just weeks into her new job, Shastina was seriously injured in an electric bike accident on her way to work, requiring surgery and rehabilitation. Still within her probationary period and without health insurance, she was referred back to Job Connection for help.

Services include job leads and referrals, career planning, resume and cover-letter assistance, job-search guidance, digital literacy training, computer and internet access, and workshops covering topics such as interviewing and overcoming barriers.

A Career Navigation Specialist helped Shastina access healthcare services through a community partner, providing the support she needed to recover. Several weeks later, she returned to work and resumed her position as Processing Lead.

The Centers also connect local employers with prospective employees through recruitment events, job postings, interview space and other hiring support.

The specialist also arranged assistance through a partner providing Uber rides to her remaining medical appointments— helping Shastina stay focused on her recovery and moving forward.

Sometimes the most important thing a job seeker needs is simply a place to begin—and someone willing to help. Goodwill assisted 4,081 individuals in 2025.

What began as a job search became something more: a network of support that helped Shastina navigate an unexpected challenge, recover and get back to work.

At Goodwill-Suncoast’s 34th Street Job Connection Center, a Career Navigation Specialist helped Kyah focus her resume on what she could bring to an employer— not simply how long she had been away. Together, they created a job-search plan, identified hiring events and added a customer-service refresher to help prepare her for the opportunities ahead. The long gap on her resume didn’t define what came next. Today, Kyah is working as a Front Desk Coordinator with a local medical office.

PRE PARIN G FO R A SU CCESS FU L RETU RN Returning to the community after incarceration can mean rebuilding nearly every part of life, all at once. Goodwill-Suncoast’s Re-Entry Program provides women transitioning from Florida correctional facilities with a structured environment designed to support successful reintegration. Participants live at Goodwill’s correctional facility in St. Petersburg while working in the local community. During the threeto nine-month program, they receive employment assistance, counseling and life-skills instruction, while also participating in volunteer projects benefiting nonprofit organizations and local communities. The objective reaches beyond finding a job. It is to give women the tools, skills and support they need to return to their communities prepared for greater stability and independence.

SUCCESS STORY: CHRISTINA BALDINELLI’S JOURNEY OF HEALING, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND NEW BEGINNINGS Christina entered the Tampa Bay Community Re-Entry Center in May 2025 determined to change the direction of her life. She acknowledges that unhealthy relationships and her environment influenced her choices and caused her to lose sight of her values. Since her incarceration, she has taken accountability for her actions and their impact on others, motivated by a desire to build a better life for herself and her daughter. In September 2025, Christina enrolled in the Pathways to Success program with a renewed sense of purpose. Working with the Pathways team and a life coach, she set goals for longterm stability, including securing permanent housing, finalizing her divorce from an abusive partner and preparing for a career. Then she went to work. Christina enrolled at Southern Technical Institute, earning certifications as a Certified Nursing Assistant, Home Health Aide and Medication Technician, along with CPR

certification. She completed the program in February 2026 and is prepared to sit for her state board exams upon release—a significant step toward a career in healthcare. Sharing those accomplishments with her daughter made them even more meaningful. Throughout her time at the Re-Entry Center, Christina has embraced the structure, guidance and opportunities available to her, developing greater discipline, confidence and resilience. She has also worked with the Pathways team to build a strong plan for life after release. She purchased property across from her mother in Pasco County, where she plans to build a home for herself and her daughter while remaining close to family support. Today, Christina is focused on her future while continuing her recovery and commitment to sobriety. She entered the program determined to change her life. She moves forward having earned professional credentials, developed career skills, secured a plan for stable housing and built a foundation for the future she wants for herself and her daughter.

A PL ACE TO CALL H O M E At Goodwill-Suncoast, opportunity means more than employment. It can also mean having a safe, affordable place to live. Goodwill-Suncoast operates five affordable apartment communities serving seniors and people with disabilities. These communities combine affordability with barrier-free features, such as grab bars, accessible doorways, automatic doors, emergency pull cords and wheelchairaccessible counters in many apartments. Fulltime service coordinators also help residents connect with community services based on their individual needs.

Residents also have opportunities to socialize and connect with their neighbors through activities such as holiday celebrations, crafting classes and Bingo games, just to name a few. Together, these features, services and activities are designed to help residents maintain their independence while remaining active and connected within their communities. For residents, an apartment represents considerably more than four walls and a roof. It represents stability, independence and the ability to remain part of a community.

Some of our residents at our GIS Housing complexes assist with events and activities held in their respective communities. This provides residents with meaningful opportunities to participate in their communities, contributing their time and talents, and strengthening connections with their neighbors. In 2026, residents contributed 143 hours of service to their communities. This represents a valuable level of engagement, highlighting the willingness of our residents to actively contribute to the success of events and activities in their communities.

COMMUNITY SPIRIT Resident get-togethers are both planned and spontaneous—from a pickup game of dominoes to crafting together.

FA S HIO N FO RWARD. FO RWARD THIN KIN G . Sometimes confidence begins with finding the perfect dress—and having someone listen. Belle of the Ball provides free prom, homecoming and formal-event gowns to young women who may otherwise be unable to afford them. Goodwill-Suncoast believes financial circumstances should not prevent anyone from experiencing these important milestones. From the moment they arrive, GoodwillSuncoast team members take time to listen

to each young woman and help her find a dress that makes her feel special and confident. They are there throughout the experience—from searching through racks and trying on gowns to the moment she leaves with the perfect dress in hand. But at Goodwill, the dress is just the beginning. Along the way, team members also share information about career development, education and other opportunities that can

help young women begin thinking about their futures and the pathways available to them. It is a natural extension of GoodwillSuncoast’s mission: meeting an immediate need while opening the door to possibilities that last much longer. A gown can make one evening special. Confidence, encouragement and opportunity will last much longer.

DRESS - TO - IMPRESS Belles seem to transform when they find the perfect dress—and the personal attention they receive from the women on our Goodwill team is part of the magic.

After completing classroom lessons, middle school students enter a real-life simulation in which they are assigned a family and income scenario and must make decisions about budgeting and household expenses. Goodwill-Suncoast is one of the businesses represented in that experience.

Volunteers help students practice family budgeting while also introducing them to Goodwill as both a value-shopping destination and a mission-driven organization. It is one more example of Goodwill’s commitment to lifelong learning beginning long before someone enters the workforce.

BUDGETING SKILLS FOR YOUNG ADULTS: JA FINANCE PARK

Goodwill-Suncoast’s Junior Ambassadors of Goodwill (JAG) program gives high school students opportunities to volunteer while gaining a better understanding of the communities around them. From helping in our retail stores and reading to children through our BookWorks program to learning about sustainability by processing items that can’t be sold in our stores and participating in beach cleanups, JAG volunteers experience many ways to give back. Students age 14 and older can participate through JAG Summer and JAG Weekend, contributing to a variety of GoodwillSuncoast programs while earning Bright Futures volunteer hours. The experience goes beyond fulfilling a requirement. JAG exposes young people to service, teamwork, sustainability and the many ways nonprofit organizations help strengthen local communities.

Goodwill-Suncoast continued building upon its role as an “original recycler,” finding additional ways to extend the useful life of donated goods and responsibly recover materials that cannot be sold.

THE STORY BEHIND OUR STORY From every donation, an opportunity is born. The Goodwill story starts here. Clothing. Books. Furniture. Household goods. Any item with life left in it has potential. Those items move through our stores and online, where every purchase helps support programs and services in our local communities. And if an item doesn’t sell, it may find another purpose through our recycling programs and sustainability efforts. It’s what we’ve always done: help items find a second life. And through the programs those purchases support, help people find opportunity.
