GIVE TO GOODWILL NOW



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.
