I love shopping at Goodwill for children's clothing, and it's my choice spot for donating stuff we no longer need. Great prices and I feel like I'm helping out my community when I shop there.

I've always been impressed with Goodwill's philanthropic mission. It has been gratifying to help others with my purchases through Goodwill. The stores are well-appointed, logically organized, and obviously the prices are beyond compare.
