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.
- Collect items from family, friends and neighbors. Visit goodwillindy.org/items to see what Goodwill accepts.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
