WE CHANGE LIVES

Check out our newest campaign for the "D" movement - YOUR opportunity to make a REAL difference in the lives of many through your donations to support our mission of "Creating Hope, Jobs and Futures in Our Community."

Donations bins continue to be placed throughout our two-county area. This effort supports our ongoing need to collect material donations in convenient, accessible and affordable ways while also partnering with businesses and other nonprofits to serve our mission. If your business would like to "host" a donations bin - even on a three-month trial basis - please contact us with your offer. Remember, by placing these new, attractive and identifiable bins in high-traffic and accessible spots, we can increase our nonprofit's ability to translate these donated goods into jobs, programs, training and support services to improve the quality of life in our area.

Watch for our donations bins at all locations noted in the "Donate" section of this website.

Plan to do your back-to-school shopping then for really great bargains. Of course, we also accept donations as well so you can think about making room for your NEW purchases by donating items to our Goodwill.

Our Frederick Keys donations drive on Saturday evening, August 28 was a huge success! Thanks to all who helped with this drive, whose results overfilled an entire van!. A great summer event and a win-win for Goodwill and the Keys!!

Donations drives at congregations and businesses make a BIG difference, along with those held by our C.A.R.E.S. certificate partners and other nonprofit groups in our two-county area. Among the many donations drives held or scheduled for the future are those with: Frederick County Department of Social Services and Department of Rehabilitation Services; Carroll County Department of Social Services; The Apartments at Sunset in Frederick; Frederick County Department of Juvenile Services; BB&T Bank in Frederick; The Frederick Keys, The Way Station, Lehigh Cement in Carroll County, The Villages at Urbana, CSD, Inc, the YMCA in Frederick, United Healthcare, and others. THANKS to all!

Our words can't express it...here's a recent note from one of our Goodwill clients:

"Thank you for a wonderful time as a Goodwill employee. I have learned a lot and felt like part of the team. It has been my favorite job ever."

Dan Kurtenbach, President/CEO.
