Goodwill’s #7DaysofSpringCleaning campaign: Donation=Jobs

“This post was made possible through the support of Goodwill. All opinions are my own.”

The weather is nice..well a little bit on the windy side. My flowers are blooming-Spring is here. Around my house, Sping=Clean. Since my kids are older, we have less toys and games and more clothes. My on grows like a tree and it seems we are replacing pants every 5 months.

Although we clean all year round, we really focus on the clothes during Spring Cleaning by getting rid of those gently used clothes they can no longer wear. Its a dreaded process but it is done each year. Are you in the process of Spring Cleaning? Here’s a great way to get started. Did you know your used clothing or household goods that you donate to Goodwill,helps create jobs directly in your community? I figure that I am no longer using the item or we have outgrown the clothes, then why not donate.

That’s right: Donate Stuff. Create Jobs. It’s the tagline of Ad Council’s campaign with Goodwill®, which reminds people that their donations support people who are seeking to earn jobs and build careers. To see how the process works, just watch our “How We Do It” PSA.

My sons Taekwondo class rewards them for donating their used items to Goodwill. They earn stars. When they reach 25 stars, they receive an upgrade of their patches.
