Goodwill Thanks You, Lexington!

Have you ever donated to Goodwill and wondered what happens to your donations? You aren’t alone – many people have asked this question.

When you donate to Goodwill, you create jobs. Program participants get on-the-job training in our retail enterprise, graduates from a broad array of training programs get access to interview attire free of charge, and local residents get jobs in The Goodwill Stores. Donations to Goodwill advance our mission of helping people with barriers to self-sufficiency to achieve independence and dignity through work. Last year, we served nearly 7,800 individuals in our job training, career services, and youth programs.

In 2016, Lexington residents donated more than 1.6 million pounds of goods to Goodwill, and we are very grateful. We hope you will continue to donate clothing and household goods at our attended donation center behind Walgreens at 36 Bedford Street, or at another donation center near you.

For information about Goodwill, as well as the locations and hours of The Goodwill Stores and donation centers, please visit www.goodwillmass.org.

Thank you for donating and supporting Goodwill!
