Goodwill Stores Open New Year's Eve
Right after the holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year for Goodwill donation centers.
"People are cleaning out after the holiday and then we really don't get a lot until Spring cleaning" said Jerry Cook, the Plant Operations Manager for the Air Base Boulevard store.
2010 was a very good year for Goodwill. It also had a strong post-holiday donation season.
Friday is the last day anyone could donate in order to receive a tax deduction for 2010. Each Goodwill store in the area also has a table with paperwork for anyone to file for their deduction after donating.
Cook said, "Today we have a lot of donors are coming in. This is our Black Friday if you will. Most people coming in today and tomorrow, we'll get the bulk of our donations."
Goodwill stores will be open until 5:00PM New Year's Eve to accept donations.
If you have any extra clothes you don't wear anymore or anything, Cook says you should make your way to a Goodwill store.
"We just encourage everybody to look in your closet again, see what's in there, you know, we need your donations."
