May 16, 2019 Sorting at GoodwillI appreciated learning about Goodwill more during this event. The woman that worked at the store let us know they do not throw anything out that is donated because you never know what some people think of as trash can be another one's treasure. All of the clothes we were helping move out of the store, were going on to the Goodwill outlet instead of to landfills. Was this review helpful? |
