As we enter the New Year, consider updating your wardrobe with the affordable options available at Goodwill. Transforming your style doesn't require buying brand-new clothes; it can come from finding hidden gems. 

Goodwill, a sanctuary of pre-loved fashion, is a great choice for those looking for value and sustainability. By embracing second-hand apparel, you become an advocate for reducing textile waste and mitigating the environmental impact of fast fashion. Thrift shopping supports the circular economy by giving a new lease on life to garments that might otherwise end up in landfills.

Since 1902, Goodwill’s mission-integrated donated goods business model has contributed to the sustainability of the planet. Last year alone, Goodwill Manasota’s reduce-reuse-recycle efforts diverted 45.6 million pounds from local landfills and moved us closer to achieving our goal of zero waste.

Opting for second-hand fashion from Goodwill not only refreshes your wardrobe but also supports the local community. Each purchase contributes to initiatives that create meaningful work opportunities and have a positive impact on lives.

Among these initiatives is the Supported JobsPlus program, an internal endeavor that assists individuals with physical, psychiatric, or developmental disabilities in developing positive personal and workplace behaviors and skills. Through this program, participants earn a paycheck by securing job opportunities at Goodwill, fostering a sense of independence and self-worth. Visit experiencegoodwill.org/mission-services to learn more about our programs.

At Goodwill Manasota, we extend a helping hand and pave the way to a brighter future for those seeking employment. Learn more about our community impact at experiencegoodwill.org/impact.
