Goodwill Donation Drive
Goodwill Industries of Greater Nebraska is having a donation drive in Ord beginning after noon on Wednesday February 28 and continuing 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day through Wednesday March 7, 2018 or earlier when trailer becomes full. People in Ord and the surrounding area can drop off their donations at the donation trailer parked at the St. Mary’s School, 527 N. 20th Street, Ord.
Virtually anything in your home or garage that you no longer use is accepted: clothing, household items, shoes, boots, purses, belts, hats, books, all computers, printers, monitors and computer accessories can be placed inside the Goodwill trailer. Due to limited storage space, furniture, televisions and large appliances are not accepted. Tax donation receipts are available at the trailer.
Goodwill appreciates the generosity of the citizens of Ord and the surrounding area. Revenue generated through the sale of donated items at Goodwill’s retail stores supports services for people in living in greater Nebraska.
Goodwill Industries of Greater Nebraska’s mission is to help people with disabilities or barriers achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. The organization fulfills this mission every day by supporting people to find jobs that match their talents and gifts, teaching skills leading to increased independence, helping people through the process of recovery and empowering people to focus on their strengths and abilities rather than a diagnosis or disability.
