Answer 1

Goodwill focuses on job training. They provide this training primarily to the mentally ill and disabled. The money goes to funding these training programs.

Answer 2

i agree with you. the GOOD WILL is gone from the goodwill. the reason people go there is because they cant afford new stuff sometimes and they over charge for almost anything. and i dont think the proceeds really help the people that need it. i always try to give to an organization i know will distribute fairly to those that REALLY need it. like where i live we have one called the council on aging and they are pretty good or i trust a couple of the churches around here to give donations of stuff also. also habitat for humanity is a good one!
