Goodwill and Gateway Mall Partnered to Host Spooktacular Halloween Events
Goodwill Industries Serving Southeast Nebraska, Inc. (lincolngoodwill.org) collaborated with Gateway Mall for another spooktacular Halloween, offering a series of free events to the Lincoln community in October. On October 10, they organized a Make and Take Workshop, where attendees received craft “Boo It Yourself” Halloween wreath kits—made possible by Goodwill’s “Bits and Pieces” store section that fulfill all crafting needs, from jewelry to utensils, ribbons, and glue. On October 24, the partners hosted the Howl-O-Ween Pet Costume Contest, with prizes given out for first, second, and third best-dressed furry friends.
For more than 85 years, Goodwill Industries Serving Southeast Nebraska, Inc. has worked to strengthen the Lincoln community by providing services for individuals who face barriers to employment and by offering residents an outlet for recycling used and unused household items and clothing. The sale of those donated items in Goodwill’s retail stores remains the largest source of funding for its programs and services. It is with this understanding that Goodwill provides funding to colleague agencies to help with their own programs that align with Goodwill’s mission of “willing workers employed and community resources maximized.” For more information about Goodwill and its role in the Lincoln community, visit lincolngoodwill.org or call (402) 477-0436.
