VALLEYWIDE (Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona) - Everyone knows Goodwill as their neighborhood non-profit thrift store. It’s a great place to shop secondhand, stretch your dollar, and donate your no-longer-needed items. But did you know that sustainability has been at the heart of Goodwill’s mission since the beginning?
Since 1947, Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona has prioritized reuse to help give new life to used goods. Goodwill collects and diverts millions of pounds of donated items from turning into waste every year. Plus, donating to Goodwill supports its mission services, such as career development and education resources.
As we celebrate Earth Day today, April 22, it’s important to remember that when we shop and donate at Goodwill, we’re playing a vital role by supporting the local community, reducing waste, and helping extend the life cycle of no-longer-needed items.
