Goodwill Central Coast Continues Philanthropic ways by Supporting causes of other Local Nonprofits It’s a well-known fact that Goodwill Central Coast helps anyone who needs or wants a job — be it a veteran, high school dropout or someone with a physical disability.
Salinas, CA, December 04, 2020 - What’s lesser known is the length Goodwill goes to create opportunities for nonprofit organizations that have similar outreach in the community. For example, Goodwill Central Coast recently joined forces with Interim Inc., and Coastal Roots Hospitality to coordinate the delivery of 350 Thanksgiving meals, warm socks and more to Interim residents, clients and others in need in the community.
Goodwill will continue its support throughout the holiday season as Interim plans to coordinate two gift giveaways. One involves approximately 500 pairs of new socks donated by Goodwill Central Coast that will be paired with $15 gift certificates from Interim, which provide services and affordable housing supporting members of our community with mental illness in building productive and satisfying lives. In October, Goodwill Central Coast collaborated on the Cookies for Kids’ Cancer Fundraiser for the second straight year. Through Round Up donations, customers gave $950 to the cause, and Goodwill matched those donations to increase the total to $1,900. In November, Goodwill Central Coast collaborated with customers through an in-store donation drive to raise funds for The ALS Association Golden West Chapter. Goodwill CC matched each donation dollar for dollar to aid the nonprofit provide daily assistance to those living with the challenges of ALS. Following devastating fires in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, Goodwill Central Coast rallied with its shoppers to raise thousands of dollars (including nearly $1,400 at the Scotts Valley store alone).
