Goodwill Industries Serving Southeast Nebraska, Inc. (lincolngoodwill.org) is teaming up with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Nebraska Wesleyan University for their annual Campus Move-Out Donation Drive. During the last two weeks of the school year, Goodwill will place donation barrels inside residence halls, so students can conveniently donate their extra clothing, electronics and home goods before they head home for the summer. Wesleyan students can donate from April 26 to May 8, and UNL students can donate from May 8 to May 22.
When students donate to Goodwill, they help change lives through the power of work. The revenue from Goodwill’s thrift stores in Lincoln and York helps fund local programs that assist ajob seekers as they overcome barriers to employment. In 2022 alone, Goodwill served over 4,000 individuals with employment-related services, such as job skills training, mentorship, mock interviews and more. Thanks to community donors, Goodwill also diverted over 2.2 million pounds of materials from the local landfill. Goodwill is grateful for support from organizations like UNL and Wesleyan that make this impact possible.
For 91 years, Goodwill Industries Serving Southeast Nebraska, Inc. has been strengthening the Lincoln community by providing services for individuals who face barriers to employment and by offering residents a year-round outlet for donating clothing, electronics and household items.
