Greetings!
Look at what is happening at your local Goodwill!

 Your Halloween Headquarters
Imagination, not your wallet, is the only limit when creating thrilling costumes this season! Bewitch friends and family with your own monster-piece for under $15.00! Design your little goblin's costume for less than $10.00! Visit our website and Facebook for costume ideas that will make you howl with delight! Be the ghostess with the mostest this Halloween season in your own original design.
Look Wonderfall this Season for Less
Apple picking + campfires + racking leaves + football games equal fall in Northwest Ohio. These activities would not be complete without pulling out the sweatshirts, hoodies and fleece jackets. Your local Goodwill has these cozy clothes ready for you for less than $5.00 each! Are you looking for blankets for these chilly mornings or to take to the game Friday night? Look no further than the store with the smiling "G"! Who said food has to provide the only comfort during this autumn season?
Grand Opening for New Store in Fostoria
We are very excited to announce the Grand Opening of our thirteenth store is set for October 18! Please join us at 546 Plaza Drive in Fostoria at 9:00 a.m. for the ribbon cutting ceremony. Check out Facebook and see the staff's hard work in getting the store perfect for your arrival!

 Thank you!
A very special thank you to all our donors who participated in this year's fall donation drive with Elder-Beerman. Your continued support is invaluable to Goodwill. The revenue from the items collected go directly to fund our mission with helping people throughout Northwest Ohio gain meaningful employment. Thank you!
Elementary Donation Drives
Schools are beginning to reserve their dates for material donation drives during the 2013-2014 school year! Call Sheila today at 419-255-0070 ext. 3202 and sign up your school today!
Drive to Victory
Goodwill and BCSN are teaming up to co-sponsor material donation drives against two competing high schools. A Goodwill trailer will be parked in each school's parking lot the week before the big Friday night game. The Monday-Thursday before the game, students, faculty, parents, and members of the community can drop off donations. The donations are weighed and the school that collects the most weight wins a $700.00 scholarship! Second place receives a $300.00 scholarship!
On September 27, Cardinal Stritch and Toledo Christian went head to head. Both schools did a terrific job collecting donations! Although it was very close, Cardinal Stritch passed Toledo Christian in total weight. Thank you who all donated to the drive and making Goodwill the clear winner!
The lineup this season in the Drive to Victory is Clay vs. St. Francis on October 25 and Bowsher vs. Start on November 1st. Start collecting your donations today! If you or your high school would like more information on the Drive to Victory, please call David Takats at 419-255-0070 ext. 3201.

Ghoulwill Ball
 Join us Saturday, November 2, 2013! Come join the Krewe at Goodwill for the most elegant, mysterious, and exciting Halloween party of the year, the 2013 Ghoulwill Ball, presented by Goodwill Industries of Northwest Ohio. This year's theme, Time to Party Gras, takes its inspiration from New Orleans-style Mardi Gras costume balls. The ballroom of the Holiday Inn French Quarter will be transformed into a Louisiana dance hall, festooned with fantastic decorations, beads, and baubles. For more details and ticket information visit our website. (http://www.goodwillnwohio.com/ghoulwillball)

 Before you switch out your summer clothes for your winter wardrobe, make certain to place a plastic bag or box next to your closet or dresser. While sorting your clothes simply place unwanted items in your container. Remember, items donated to Goodwill do not have to be perfect. We responsibly recycle clothing and even that one shoe! |
