It's Giving Time

 11/25/2014

 

Thanksgiving Day launches the holiday giving season. And Goodwill would love to be on your gifting list.

Did you know:

• A donation of $100 serves up to 30 TulsaWORKS participants in one weeklong Life Skills session?
• An annual $120 donation ($10/month) provides transportation for job sampling for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder in our Transition Work Adjustment program for an academic year?
• An annual $600 donation ($50/month) creates resumes for 30 individuals at Goodwill Job Connection?

Your contributions fund the programs we run to help people find good jobs and improve their lives. Besides shopping in our stores, here’s how you can help specially for the holidays:

1. Shop for gifts on AmazonSmile. Just can’t find it at Goodwill? Well on this special site, Amazon donates 0.5% of the purchase price to Goodwill.

2. #GivingTuesday holiday campaign. This is the third year that the first Tuesday after Black Friday and CyberMonday is devoted globally to giving back, whether in money, time or talent. On December 2, you can commemorate #GivingTuesday by contributing toward our $1,000 goal. See us on Facebook for campaign details.


 

3. End-of-year tax-deductible donating. Dec. 31 is the last day that you can make a charitable contribution that you can deduct on your income tax return. Contributions can be monetary, made through our website, or gently-used goods dropped off at any of our attended donation centers.

If you can, consider giving to Goodwill. Someone in your community will have a brighter holiday for it.
