#GoodsforGood: Goodwill of Orange County has had to shut their stores & donations centers due to COVID-19 but is encouraging our community to save their donations (goods) until they reopen. @ocgoodwill opened its doors in 1924 and helps people who are facing barriers to find and keep jobs which provides purpose, pride, and dignity. This local nonprofit will need our donations more than ever when they re-open so they can continue to do good in Orange County! Please join us in saving your goods for good! When we learn of their re-opening, we’ll post an update. #lifeisgoodoc 📷: @nancylaila

While Goodwill of Orange County’s locations were not classified as essential business, the life-changing impact they make in Orange County is 100% essential.

If you are not familiar with the nonprofit, they help people facing barriers to find and keep jobs, which provides purpose, pride, and dignity – something that is more important than ever in light of COVID-19 and the rising mental health crisis.

Goodwill of Orange County resells the donations at its locations to not only fund its employment programs but other life-changing programs and services like the Tierney Center for Veteran Services, a comprehensive resource serving Orange County Veterans and their families.
