Across the Fredericksburg region, Rappahannock Goodwill Industries (RGI) helps people prepare for work, build skills, and connect with employment opportunities through free career services. When you donate a vehicle through Goodwill Car Donations, the proceeds fund job placement, career readiness, skills training, and career center resources across the 16 Virginia counties RGI serves. That support will reach local job seekers who need practical tools, one-on-one guidance, or extra help overcoming barriers to employment. Your donation keeps those services available for people working toward steadier jobs, stronger confidence, and a more stable future.

The organization focuses on free job placement, career readiness, and skills training services for people from different backgrounds. Its work is especially important for Virginians who face barriers to employment, including people with disabilities and those who need extra support getting into the workforce. What sets RGI apart is its direct career-service network, including Virginia Career Works Centers and CareerPath Accelerator, which give local job seekers access to practical employment tools, career guidance, skills assessments, and pathways to real job opportunities.
