Goodwill Opens New Attended Donation Center in Swampscott


BOSTON (December 13, 2013) Its becoming easier and easier to donate to Goodwill on the North Shore. On December 14, Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries will open an attended donation center in Swampscott at 450 Paradise Road in the Stop & Shop Plaza. The donation center will be open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Earlier this year, Goodwill opened a new donation center in Peabody. In the greater Boston area, Goodwill serves 10,000 people a year, providing job training, career services, and youth programs. Goodwills mission is to help people with barriers to selfsufficiency achieve independence and dignity through work. We are very excited to be increasing our presence on the North Shore with this new donation center in Swampscott, said Jason Marshall, vice president of retail for Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries. Now its more convenient to donate to a great cause. Goodwill collects nearly 23 million pounds in donations every year in eastern and central Massachusetts, meaning reusable items are diverted from the landfill and into stores, where they take on new value for shoppers looking to stretch their dollar. Goodwill accepts donations of clothing, textiles, shoes and other accessories, books, small working appliances, household items, small furniture, antiques, collectibles, and more. Goodwill urges residents to donate items that are of good quality and to donate during the hours of operation. An attendant will be able to provide a tax receipt for all donations. For a complete list of what to donate, store locations and other information, please visit www.goodwillmass.org.

stop career center, which offers universal access to a broad range of services for job seekers, individuals who are looking to advance or change careers, and employers seeking good job candidates.
