The donation drive allows Goodwill donors in and around the Oshkosh area, the opportunity to drop off their gently used donated goods at a variety of drop off sites, as well as the Goodwill Store. This event also includes students from a number of area schools who are learning the benefits of volunteering and giving back to their communities. Last year, Oshkosh donors helped 76 people with special needs receive training and work experience through Goodwill programs and 885 individuals received over $30,000 in emergency clothing and household items in their time of need. Weare requesting permission to place a Goodwill trailer in the parking lot of the Safety Building (across from the Farmers Market) from 9 am to 12 pm, on Saturday, Sept. 23. The trailer would be dropped offlate Friday afternoon or early Saturday morning, whatever is most convenient, and removed Saturday afternoon. This site would be a convenient drop off site for donors and would provide great visibility for the Goodwill mission. There will be Goodwill team members and student volunteers at each of the drop-off sites. Thank: you very much for your consideration. Your support will help us keep the Goodwill Promise!
