The Latest Go-To Newsletter: 
Did you know 54% of Americans feel overwhelmed by clutter? You can declutter your home while making a meaningful impact in someone’s life! That shirt hanging in your closet that you have not worn in years could help change a life—declutter your home and donate it to Goodwill. How does it work? The revenue from people buying secondhand from their stores directly supports local programs that assist unemployed and underemployed individuals, giving them hope, opportunity, and the chance to build a better future through the power of work.

When you donate and shop at Goodwill, you help locals like Terry and Miranda.
- Terry | He credits Goodwill for everything he has achieved, his Forklift License and Class A CDL, saying none of this would have happened without all the good people who encouraged and supported him every step of the way in learning about and taking advantage of these opportunities to improve his and his family’s future.
- Miranda | Goodwill staff helped Miranda with a resume and cover letter. She listened to the advice from Goodwill staff about getting and keeping a job.
