Do you need to make room for holiday gifts in your closets? Did you get a thing or two that someone else might appreciate more? Goodwill will gratefully receive whatever you donate to find a new home and new life in our thrift stores. Those stores not only support community reuse and repurposing, but also generate proceeds so we can continue to help job seekers enter or reenter the workforce!
