Donors get a tax deduction and a clean house.
Goodwill gets additional funds for education, job training and job placement programs for people with disabilities and other disadvantages, such as welfare dependency, homelessness, and lack of education or work experience. This is the giving season, and every gift to Goodwill helps make 2000 a better year for thousands of individuals who need jobs, says Fred Grandy, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries International. Goodwill accepts clothing, household items, toys, computers, cars and other vehicles even those holiday gifts that weren t quite right. Thanks to the public s support, last year Goodwill served nearly 321,000 individuals. Businesses and individuals planning to jettison their computers before Y2K can give them to Goodwill and know they won t wind up in a trash dump.
