A Print Shop With a Purpose

In February 2026, Goodwill Acadiana opened GoodPrints, a print shop built around people. Too many people with disabilities face barriers to steady work, so we created a place where they can earn a paycheck, learn new skills, and build independence.

 

Finding a job is hard. Finding one that teaches new skills and opens doors can be even harder. At GoodPrints, people with physical or developmental barriers learn screen printing and embroidery on shirts, hoodies, hats, and more. They learn by doing, one order at a time, and they build skills and confidence they can take into their next job.

 

We’re proud of our team and the work they do every day. When you order from GoodPrints, you get quality items and help create jobs right here in Acadiana.

 

Who We Print For

Whether you’re customizing an outfit for a team or planning a big local event, GoodPrints is here to help. We offer custom screen printing and embroidery on various items.

 

Our customers include local businesses, schools, teams, and clubs that need staff shirts or uniforms. Nonprofits and community groups can also come to us when they’re getting ready for an event, and companies can use our services to order merch for their teams and customers.

 

Every order is made by our team and helps create jobs for people with disabilities right here in Acadiana. You get items you can be proud of, and your neighbors get the chance to build skills and independence.

Why It Matters for Acadiana

GoodPrints strengthens our employment services at Goodwill Acadiana by creating inclusive jobs. These jobs give your neighbors the chance to learn, grow, and thrive in our community. With every order you place, our team builds new skills and more confidence in their work.

 

The next time you need uniforms or shirts for a community event, come to GoodPrints! We’ll meet you where you are and help bring your idea to life, from your first sketch to the finished product.

 

You can also help by sharing our story with friends, family, and coworkers. Every order and every share helps us reduce poverty, restore independence, and transform lives in Acadiana. We’d love to have you be a part of it.
