Have you ever heard of that quote where it says if you give someone a fish they eat for a day but if your teach them how to fish they can eat for a lifetime? The belief behind this is pretty simple…you can give someone help for 1 day but teaching them how to help themselves is something that will last them into their future. A future where they can pass that same help and knowledge on to another person.
This belief is something the Goodwill Foundation is applying right now in your community and mine through their “Donate Stuff. Create Jobs.” Program…

Create Jobs…

So, take a few moments…go search through that STUFF you have (yeah you know it’s there) and see how you can donate it to help create JOBS!

Definitely something most people can do. And there is a side benefit–your house is less cluttered. I have a small box that has been waiting for time to donate. I'm going to make sure it gets done this week. Thanks for the nudge. Enjoy Saturday Sharefest.

Right! Why not get a bit of late Spring Cleaning done and instead of trashing it or doing a yard sale donate it to Goodwill to help create Jobs for the people in your own community. It’s a Win-Win! 😀 I’m glad this gave you a nudge…don’t forget you can use the locator to find your Local Drop Off Point 🙂
Happy Sharefest!

Yes! We all know other peoples abandoned STUFF can be our new found TREASURE 🙂
