Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont and the YMCA of Greater Charlotte are partnering together to give for good! From Monday, July 15 through Monday, July 29, four YMCA centers – Brace, Simmons, Morrison, and Keith – will go head-to-head in the Give for Good competition. The YMCA that gathers the most donations by the end of the competition will be crowned the winner, and all donated items will be sold at Goodwill stores to fund crucial job training and employment services across the Charlotte region. We’re grateful to the Y for kicking off the Give for Good competition and are looking for other organizations to take the challenge. Are you part of a locally-focused business that would be a perfect partner for the head-to-head donation challenge? Let’s explore the possibility!
