During this busy holiday season, it is easy to forget an important deadline that is fast approaching: Dec. 31 is the end of the 2009 tax year. Now is a great time to bring down your quality reusable items to any of 26 Goodwill donation centers throughout the central and north Puget Sound region. All donors receive a receipt to use for their tax returns.
Look through your closets, attics and basements for clothing, books, shoes, toys, electronics and other items that are not being used. When these items are sold in Goodwill’s nonprofit thrift stores, they support free job training and education programs for people in need in the community.
Even in this tough economy, when money is tight, it’s possible to support the great work of charities like Goodwill with material donations. And, when you give to Goodwill, you know you are giving to a reputable organization that has been helping people for over 85 years.
