Goodwill is partnering with businesses throughout the region to boost donations and local impact as we turn your items into career services for people in the community. We are thrilled to announce a new partnership between Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont and the YMCA of Greater Charlotte, representing a powerful collaboration between two of the largest nonprofits in our community.
From Monday, July 15 through Monday, July 29, four YMCA centers – Brace, Simmons, Morrison, and Keith – will go head-to-head in the Give for Good competition. This two-week blitz encourages each location to rally their employees, members and community supporters to donate gently used items at Goodwill bins located inside their facilities. The YMCA that gathers the most donations by the end of the competition will be crowned the winner, and all donated items will be sold at Goodwill stores to fund crucial job training and employment services across the Charlotte region.
We’re grateful to the Y for kicking off the Give for Good competition and are looking for other organizations to take the challenge. Are you part of a locally-focused business that would be a perfect partner for the head-to-head donation challenge? Let’s explore the possibility. For more information, click here.
