More Than Halloween Fun
At Goodwill Central Texas, bringing our community together is part of what we do.
While the kids enjoy trick-or-treating, parents and caregivers can connect with local community organizations and learn more about Goodwill’s education, career training, employment, and job placement services.
It’s an opportunity to discover resources that can help you and your family build a brighter future, all while enjoying a little Halloween magic.
