Sack It to Goodwill donation drive needs community participation


The Post-Crescent

This year’s Sack It to Goodwill drive marks a decade of community contributions to a mission of caring.

The 10th annual effort, sponsored by Goodwill Industries of North Central Wisconsin Inc. and The Post-Crescent, asks people to donate clothing and other household items to help fund Goodwill’s 24 programs and services.

Here’s how it works:

Home-delivery copies of today’s newspaper include a plastic bag for donations, such as clothing and other textiles. Books, glassware, kitchenware and other items should be placed in boxes labeled “For Goodwill.”

On March 12, residents in 27 communities can place the sacks and boxes on curbs before 9 a.m.

A team of volunteers led by the Bay-Lakes Council of the Boy Scouts of America and the Wisconsin Army National Guard will deliver them to Goodwill.

Last year’s drive generated revenue that aided more than 20,000 people.

“Our Sack It partnership with Goodwill is a great example of how our communities join together to help people in need,” said Ellen Leifeld, The P-C’s president and publisher.

“We’re lucky to have a community that cares enough to answer the call,” added Bonnie DeBraal, director of community relations for Goodwill.
