With amazing clothing bargains, the non-profit has something for everyone. If your child wears a uniform to elementary school, we have at least 1,000 khaki shorts. All in great condition and in every size under the sun.
And if your child doesn’t need a uniform, we have jeans, shorts, pants, t-shirts and skirts in every color of the rainbow. At $1.49 and $1.99 apiece, you don’t have to worry if your child slides into home in his khaki shorts. Buy a new pair. At these prices, buy two new pairs!
For middle school and high school students, here’s a chance for them to express how creative and individual they really are with some funky, go-together outfits. Who says you can’t pair stripes and plaids?
And you have the benefit of helping Goodwill provide the programs and services that make our community better. That might not mean much to your kids … but it will mean something to you.
Save money, get them the stuff they want and support social services. That’s as good as it gets!
