Goodwill NCW makes it easy to make an impact on Giving Tuesday

WISCONSIN – On Tuesday, December 3, Goodwill North Central Wisconsin (NCW) will join millions by participating in the global generosity movement known as Giving Tuesday.  Through its mission, Goodwill NCW makes it easy to make an impact locally.  Our communities’ generous donations and purchases fuel programs for individuals who have a goal of learning new skills to achieve sustained employment and improved financial stability. 

Last year, individuals served by Goodwill NCW’s mission programs increased their collective annual income by more than $4.5 million across north central Wisconsin. Here are three easy ways to support Goodwill NCW’s mission this season:

1. Goodwill NCW Giving Tree: December 2 through December 15, Goodwill NCW invites shoppers to consider rounding up their total at the register by $1 or more to support Goodwill NCW mission programs. By rounding up, they’ll receive an ornament to place on Giving Trees located in the 27 Goodwill NCW retail locations. Ornaments will stay on the trees through the end of the year as a testament to the generosity of the communities.
    
2. Donate: Gently used items that are donated to Goodwill NCW provide job training and other employment services. As a nonprofit, retail sales generated from donations are the primary source of funding to support the mission and operations of the organization. On average, each donation supports 3 hours of job skill training through Goodwill NCW programs building transferable employability skills.
    
3. Make A Financial Donation:

4. Shop: In addition to finding great deals, customers should also know that by simply shopping at Goodwill NCW they are giving hope to those who need a hand-up. On average, 90 cents of every dollar from sales in Goodwill NCW retail stores is reinvested into the organization’s mission of Elevating People by Eliminating Barriers to Employment.

During this season of giving, Goodwill NCW would like to thank shoppers and donors for their ongoing support to transform lives.
