A new Goodwill store had a grand opening this past April which is in a retirement community very close to me.

I went there this afternoon, here a few of the offerings.

I asked to talk with the store manager today. His store is one of 62 stores in Northern Arizona. He said the stores in Southern Arizona have a different policy. The manager said every store is independent and his store policy was to accept everything. One of the things he won't sell in the store for example, is mattresses because of health reasons. He still accepts them and they break them down and recycle the materials and generate funds in doing this.

This subject is important to me. I'm retired and my wife and I work with charitable organizations. I work with the Red Cross, I am on the Board of Directors of our HOA, I am on the neighborhood watch committee, my wife and I do volunteer work for a local Golden Retriever rescue. I also work with the local Sheriff possee.
