The Donate Movement by Goodwill.

Chris and I are big about donating.  We talk about it so family, friends and strangers get into the giving spirit.  It's like a saying I heard when I was younger, "thoughts have wings".  Nowadays people say "put it in the Universe".  I found out that both quotes were born from this beautiful poem:


I hold it true, that thoughts are things;
They're endowed with bodies and breath and wings;
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds forth to earth's remotest spot,
leaving its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future thought by thought,
for good or ill, yet know it not.
Yet, so the universe was wrought.
Thought is another name for fate;
Choose, then, thy destiny and wait,
For love brings love and hate brings hate.


-Henry Van Dyke


My point is that the more you speak about something positive and the more you share - only good can come out of it.  So this is why we support The Donate Movement by Goodwill and you should too.  

When you donate clothing and other items like books or electronics to Goodwill, your donations are sold in Goodwill stores, giving them a “second life” and keeping them out of landfills.  Let's continue to build stronger communities and a healthier planet!

Every day, the universal symbol for recycling reminds us to recycle bottles, paper, cans and more. Now, imagine another symbol on clothing, household goods and electronics that reminds you that an item can be donated when you no longer need it.

Don't wait for Spring to "Spring Clean" - there's always time to put your closet on a diet!
