Goodwill Is Rich In Best Buys

January 27, 2010

In 2009, Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette (GICW) received nearly 149 million pounds of donations.

GICW collects four times what we usually receive during the month of December.  During this time, the most valuable merchandise is donated as donors scramble to get that last possible tax break before the end of the year.  As a result, January and February are GREAT shopping months at Goodwill.
