Donate stuff. Create jobs.
There’s never a bad time to clear the clutter out of your home or garage or to do a wardrobe purge. When you donate your stuff to Goodwill, the revenue from the sale of your donations helps fund job training and placement opportunities for people with disabilities and disadvantages directly in your community. That’s cleaning with a purpose.
Goodwill in currently running the “Donate Stuff. Create Jobs” campaign. Thanks to the programs and support services made possible by donations of clothes and household items, more than 261,000 people earned jobs in 2013 – that’s one person finding a job every 27 seconds of every business day. So you’re literally donating your stuff AND helping to create jobs.
Check out this quick PSA:
You can even calculate how much your donation helps your local community by using Goodwill’s Donation Impact Calculator. Simply input the items you’re donating to calculate the number of hours of career counseling, on-the-job training, résumé preparation, financial planning classes, and other services you’ve helped provide someone facing challenges to finding employment.

I can become a job creator by donating to Goodwill because Goodwill will use the money from selling donated stuff to fund job training.
I am so glad I am apart of knowing that when me and my family donate that we creating jobs by helping others get the proper education and job training..
Thanks for the article regarding Goodwill. I was not aware that they now have a donation calculater that allows you to enter your donations and the calculator shows how many job training classes, job placement assistance, resume preparation and other benefits your donation will provide. I knew that donating items to Goodwill and purchasing items from Goodwill benefited others in your own community, but did not know how many programs and benefits that it provided.
