What Happens To The Good Stuff at Goodwill?
When you donate to any of the 13 locations of Goodwill of South Central Wisconsin, the goods are resold in-store, online, or responsibly recycled through one of their salvage programs.
Assisting those in need is always a top priority for the individuals at Goodwill of South Central Wisconsin, who recognize the vital importance of managing donations responsibly and streamlining their processes in order to reduce waste.
Goodwill Home Office Tour
I got to learn more about this firsthand when I took a tour of the Goodwill Head Office recently.
During my visit, I had the opportunity to speak with employees who shared their personal connections to the Goodwill mission.
They also explained their individual roles in the resale of goods, supporting employment programs, facilitating group homes, volunteering for income tax assistance, and other community outreach programs.
Why Shopping & Donating At Goodwill Matters
As a non-profit organization, Goodwill relies on the sales of their donated goods to fund all of these services.
When you purchase a $6 shirt from Goodwill, you are doing far more than just adding to your closet–you are actively contributing to the creation of fulfilling, independent lives for members of your own community.
