Festive Holiday Sweater Party for A Good Cause with Goodwill

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

Can you believe that there are only 8 days until Christmas? Considering I haven’t started decorating or even shopped it’s definitely going by way too fast for me, I really need to get on the ball.

How about you, have you finished shopping and decorating?  Are you baking and cooking up a storm?  Are your weekends filled with parties and festivities?  If not, why not host a holiday party of your own, a Festive Holiday Sweater Party it’s fun and is also for a good cause.

Goodwill Holiday Sweater Party

We all have old holiday sweaters from previous years.  What if you could give those sweaters a new life and help support community programs in the process?

Through the AdCouncil’s campaign with Goodwill®, they have developed a new holiday resource that helps you do just that!  It’s called Snapguide and it shows you how to host a Festive Holiday Sweater Party using clothing you already have or new clothes purchased from your local Goodwill.  

The Snapguide walks you through the steps of hosting a holiday sweater party – from finding the perfect sweater to fit your personality using Goodwill’s online quiz and then getting outfitted at your local Goodwill store.  After the party is over all your guests donates the sweaters back to support Goodwill’s mission in providing job training and community services to people in need.

All donations to Goodwill are charitable tax-deductions, including the festive holiday sweaters you donate back.  Use Goodwill’s locator tool to find the nearest Goodwill location and the Donation Impact Calculator, shows how every item you give supports people who are seeking to earn jobs and build careers.

On Sunday I headed to our local Goodwill store on Kirkwood Highway and found some really nice sweaters for both men and women – what do you think?  They can be jazzed up with holiday decorations or worn just as is.
