Dear Girl Scout Leader:

We at Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont and Goodwill Industries are excited about our annual donation drive collaboration: A Good Turn for Goodwill. Through your troop’s efforts, we anticipate the collection of thousands of pounds of clothing that will be sold in Goodwill stores to support employment and training programs that help local people find hope, opportunity and jobs. We hope you’ll agree that this unique community partnership between Goodwill and the Girl Scouts will ultimately benefit all citizens in our service areas.

A Good Turn for Goodwill will teach your girls the value of volunteering for those who are less fortunate and provide the opportunity for them to earn a FREE Good Turn patch. Of course, your participation is vital to the project’s success. Simply follow these easy steps:

1. Read the materials included in this packet and discuss with your girls how their donations enable Goodwill to provide training and jobs for people in their communities.

2. Encourage each Girl Scout to collect at least three large bags of clothing from her home, neighbors and friends.3. If possible, contact the Goodwill in your area to schedule a tour for your troop (see contacts on next page).4. Donate the bags of donations to any Goodwill store or donation center during the month of October.5. If you are planning to donate as a troop, try to get a picture of the donation or contact your Goodwill chapter.

6. Submit the Project Report/Patch Order Form, available online at https://tinyurl.com/goodturn18, by November 9.

That’s it! Your girls have done A Good Turn for Goodwill and will be awarded their Good Turn patches after the campaign’s completion. Thank you for helping us help others!

Kind regards,

It’s hard to say “no thank you” to a donation. However, if an item is not saleable, the costs of handling and disposal pull funds that would otherwise support our mission. Please dispose of these items through an alternative responsible resource, such as a local recycling center.

These lists are to be used as guidelines. There may be other items that we cannot use in stores or that must be turned down due to size, condition or suitability.

• Large household appliances: stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers, water heaters. • Building materials: carpet, shutters, doors, windows, toilets, lumber, concrete, bricks, stones. • Household mattresses, box springs. • CRT televisions. Recycling is costly and burdensome and reduces funds that would otherwise be

used to support Goodwill's workforce development programs. • Automobile parts: tires, wheels, batteries, seats, body parts and engines. • Paint or chemicals.
