2017 Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts Good Turn for Goodwill Service Project

OCTOBER 15 – NOVEMBER 15, 2017

The Good Turn for Goodwill Service Project benefits people who are served by Goodwill. Your generous donation of clothes, household items, books, electronics and toys helps a Scout earn a special patch and funds employment and educational services, including:

  • Jobs for people with employment barriers such as disabilities or limited education
  • First-time, low-income moms enrolled in Goodwill’s maternal and infant health program
  • and more!

Learn more at goodwillindy.org/community and goodwillindy.org/yoursupport.

How to Earn a Patch

Each Scout who donates one or more bags, boxes or large items will earn the 2017 Good Turn for Goodwill patch.

  1. Collect items from family, friends and neighbors. Visit goodwillindy.org/items to see what Goodwill accepts.
  2. Fill a 13-gallon bag or copier box with donations. Bring it to any Goodwill location. Large items (e.g., furniture) are also accepted. Find the nearest location at goodwillindy.org/locations. Hours are 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. Monday – Saturday, 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. Sunday.
  3. Tell the attendant to count the donation for the Boy Scouts OR Girl Scouts. Don’t forget this step! The attendant will log the donations.
  4. Ask for a paper donation receipt. Use it to report donations to your Scout leader.

 

Goodwill Rewards

If a Scout’s family member has a Goodwill Rewards Card, the Scout may present the Rewards Card to the donation attendant to earn rewards and track donations online. Learn more about Goodwill Rewards at goodwillindy.org/rewards.
