Scouts Donation Drive Educational Packet for Scouts Goodwill’s Mission Helping Others Gain Independence Our mission at Goodwill Keystone Area is to support persons with disabilities and other barriers to independence in achieving their fullest potential as workers and as members of the broader community. Goodwill helps persons with disabilities, as well as people who are at an economic disadvantage or may lack education or work experience. We also provide job skills training to youth and seniors. Work Can Transform Lives, Build Community Our Mission Services Our first step is to understand a person’s goal, skill, ability and interest. Having a job means more than getting a paycheck every week. Work builds self-confidence, independence and friendships. We believe in a “hand up, not a hand out.” We design an individualized training plan that promotes personal and professional growth. Funding Our Mission We provide our clients with resources that help them conduct job searches, write resumes and practice interviewing skills. Goodwill is a social enterprise. That means that we primarily fund our mission by selling gently-used clothing and household goods in our stores. We rely on the community to donate these items. We provide people with many opportunities to develop their skills. This includes paid work training in our stores, facilities and communities. And, we keep in contact with our clients after they find a job. We want to know if the person is doing well on the job, or if they need additional support. The Donation Cycle Donations Kick Off the Cycle at Goodwill The cycle begins with YOU and other members of the community who generously donate clothing, shoes, housewares and furniture. Our donation centers are staffed. The donor attendant collects your donations and then provides you with a receipt. Since Goodwill is a non-profit, your donations are tax-deductible. Your parents will want the receipt for their records. Donations Are Sold in Our Stores Donations are sorted, placed in our stores and then sold at affordable prices. Goodwill Keystone Area has more than 40 retail stores throughout 22 counties in Central and Southeastern Pennsylvania. We recycle We recycle our unpurchased donations to minimize waste. Programs Help People Earn Jobs Money earned from Goodwill stores provides funds needed to offer programs that help people in need of personal development and economic opportunities. As Goodwill serves individuals with disabilities and other barriers, they are able to join the workforce and help the local community prosper. The Environmental Impact of Donating In addition to the benefits of helping Goodwill serve the community, donating also helps save the planet. Textile is a word that is used to describe a type of cloth or woven fabric. 90% of textile waste that goes to landfills each year is recyclable. Throwing away clothes is one of the biggest contributions we make to landfills today. We open up our closets, pick items we no longer need and toss them. And where does it go? That’s right — to the garbage, and from there, to the landfill. Instead of throwing away your gently used clothing, make better use of it! Donating to Goodwill is a great way to reduce the amount of textile waste and help change that terrible statistic! How long does it take for items to decompose?
