Goodwill stores receiving donations

Did you spend time reorganizing your home during the recent winter weather? Goodwill Stores and Attended Donation Centers are ready to receive donations of clothing and household items from your reorganizing and post-holiday purge. Donations tend to decrease during the cold, winter months, but Goodwill needs your donations all year long! Find your local Goodwill store and details on hours by visiting www.goodwillvalleys.com/locations/.

“People in our communities benefit from the generosity of the public when they entrust Goodwill with their donations,” states Jim Forer, Vice President of Donated Goods at Goodwill Industries of the Valleys. “There is a tremendous amount of pride, dignity, self-respect that comes from being able to earn a paycheck and provide for your family. When someone donates to Goodwill, they provide funds for job training and employment programs. This helps people in our community obtain the skills needed to find work, get a better job, or gain greater independence.”

Revenues from donated items directly support Goodwill training and employment services. You can be confident your donations given to Goodwill help eliminate poverty through empowering individuals, strengthening families, and inspiring communities. Goodwill depends on your generosity to support our mission, and your donations help give a hand up to individuals throughout our communities in Central, Southwest, and Southside, Virginia.
