FREE CONTENT: Local Goodwill thrift shops benefit those with disabilities
I am a big fan of thrift stores, so naturally this story from Meredith Moss has my interest. She writes that the mission of Goodwill Easterseals Miami Valley is to empower people with disabilities and other barriers to achieve independence and improve their quality of life. She lists some of what their shoppers and donors help fund, and also explains how you can help the stores. I just may use her article as an excuse to shop for some records to add to my collection in the near future.
