Giving Back To Your Community!

There are so many organizations and charities that need our assistance, but I always feel that the charity you choose to support have some kind of personal connection to you and your life.

I actively support a few organizations throughout the year and the one I would like to spotlight this week is Goodwill.

I have always been a fan of thrift stores because you can find such treasures there for a fraction of the price you would have purchased them in a regular department store. Through my childhood years, I have found things such as tweed jackets, dance shoes, and ball gowns in thrift stores. I donate at least one full bag of “things” to Goodwill every other month but there is something so great about Goodwill other than finding great deals.

Goodwill® inspires hope and self-confidence, helping people from all backgrounds and walks of life to feel successful, valuable and dignified.

We help people earn a living, improve their lives, and strengthen their families and their communities.

Goodwill’s mission is to: Goodwill Industries International enhances the dignity and quality of life of individuals, families and communities by eliminating barriers to opportunity and helping people in need reach their fullest potential through the power of work.

I am all about inspiring people to reach their full potential in life and I think that is what we all strive for with ourselves and our children.

If you haven’t visited your local Goodwill lately, I highly encourage you to stop in.
