Remember
the seemingly endless barrage of snow and chilly temperatures last winter?
Meteorologists say that this winter will be just as bad.
Whether
you’re a regular donor to Goodwill® or you’ve yet to make a donation of gently
used goods, please take a moment tonight to go through your closets and storage
rooms and find warm coats, sweaters, pants and gloves. Simply pile them in your
vehicle, visit your Goodwill Attended Donation Centre and Goodwill’s friendly
donor greeters will take it from there.
Together
we can prepare for the severe winter conditions we have in store, and
simultaneously help fund local employment programs and services.
“Donations to Goodwill allow us to provide
job training, employment placements services and other community-based programs,”
says Kevin Neill, Director Operations & Retail for Goodwill Industries –
Essex Kent Lambton. “Last year, we helped
1,478 people find jobs and support
their families – the community’s support is vital to this effort.”
Goodwill Industries – Essex Kent Lambton’s mission is to change lives through the power of work. That means improving the lives of every person in Essex, Kent and Lambton counties. This is a huge task – and is only possible with your help.

When
you give your winter wear to Goodwill, you’re giving more than clothes. You’re
giving hope, pride, opportunity and encouragement. Together, we can instill
these words in every person in need of assistance fulfilling their dream.
Goodwill
does more than impact you, your friends and neighbours. It also impacts your
environment. When you donate clothing and other household items, the products
are sold in retail stores giving them a second life and keeping them out of
landfills. In 2013 alone, nearly 151,824
donors gave their gently used goods – more than 6.6 million pounds of product diverted from local landfills!
Please
think of Goodwill and your neighbours at this time of year. All gently used
donations of winter clothing are warmly welcomed at your nearest Attended
Donation Centre.
