This holiday season, your donations to Goodwill can make twice the impact in communities across Virginia. Donating gently used items to your local Goodwill store offers an opportunity to transform neglected items into community impact.
“The holiday season often brings new gifts into our homes, including toys, clothing and household items,” says Mindy Boyd, chief operating officer. “By donating items that are no longer needed, you’re helping the item find a new home, and supporting Goodwill’s job seeker programs. These programs provide resume assistance, interview practice, skills training and other resources to help our community find jobs.”
Goodwill provides tax receipts for all donations, making it easy to take advantage of tax deductions. Donations of gently used toys, winter clothing, electronics and household goods are all accepted at Goodwill locations throughout central, southwest and southside Virginia.
“Every donation to Goodwill has a ripple effect in our community,” explains Boyd. “The revenue from our stores funds job training programs, employment services and other vital community initiatives that help local residents build skills and find meaningful employment. Your donations create opportunities for others.”
