The Goodwill 5K, sponsored by Frontier Waste Solutions, is the largest fundraising event for Goodwill Industries of South Texas.  In its 34th year, the Goodwill 5K attracts 800+ participants from all over Texas to compete and support the mission of Goodwill. Revenue raised helps fund Goodwill’s free employment services programs for South Texans with disabilities or other barriers to employment.  For 2021, the Goodwill 5K will be a virtual run.
