Fashion and Fun after Fifty

Donate Stuff, Create Jobs | Goodwill and The Ad Council

Most of you know that hubby will retiring this summer after 32+ years of service with the State of Delaware.  Although he will be leaving the School District he won’t be leaving the workforce…at least not entirely.  He may not know where the next phase of life will take him, he does vow not to have to wear a suit and tie again. 

So with a closet full of them, where will they go after my sons have raided his closet, the answer is simple, they will be donated to Goodwill.  Hubby may be leaving his job, but in donating his suits, ties, suspenders and shoes he will be helping to create jobs for others.

Using this online Goodwill Donation Calculator we can determine just how much our donations will be helping the community.  For example, one man’s suit will provide 14 minutes of resume preparation and a pair of shoes will provide 19 minutes of the same.  

Try it out for yourself as you pack up your donations.

You may not be leaving a job, but if your spring cleaning includes clearing out a cluttered closet to make room for more stuff, pack it up and donate it to Goodwill.

I’ll be the first to admit it, but hubby isn’t the only person that needs to clean out their closet…mine is due for some serious purging…need to make room for new shoes!

Too many shoes
