Spring Cleaning with a Purpose
Spring is in the air! Out with the old in with the new....or just new to you.
Over the past several years, most of us have had a family member, friend, acquaintance struggle in this economy. Either they have lost a job or struggled to find employment. And if not someone you know personally, really, all you have to do is turn on the TV or pull up social media to see the struggle. It is real.
Goodwill’s career centers, training programs and staffing operations give people the resources, skills and confidence that changes thousands of lives each year.
So how can you help to be a part of this growth and effort in your own community? It’s easy! Donate to Goodwill = create jobs!
Not only do we believe in donating to Goodwill, we also love to shop there!
Thanks to the programs and support services made possible by donations of clothes and household items, Goodwill helped place more than 312,000 people in jobs in the United States and Canada in 2015 – that’s one person finding a job every 23 seconds of every business day.
Why do I donate? Because what I may not want or have use for may be perfect for someone else! If we have perfectly good items that can be loved by someone else, why not help our community? If you are not sure where your local Goodwill is, you can use the Goodwill Locator App available for Android and iOS devices and at http://www.goodwill.org/ (click “Explore Our Map” on the homepage). Simply input the items you’re donating to calculate the number of hours of career counseling, on-the-job training, résumé preparation, financial planning classes, and other services you’ve helped provide people facing challenges finding employment. When jobs thrive, communities thrive.
Last year, nearly 2 million people engaged in face-to-face Goodwill services to advance in their careers. More than 35 million people accessed education, training, mentoring and online learning tools offered by Goodwill virtually to strengthen their skills and gain industry-recognized credentials.
We have done our part! Now it is time for you to do yours! Tag us on your social media posts with a photo of your Goodwill donations using #DonateStuffCreateJobs.

If you have been keeping up with my past post you will now I have a fondness for coffee. Over the past year, I have worked with Java Factory Roasters on a few reviews. These days my coffee cup runneth over. But, I'm always willing to take one for the team in the name of flavor. This month's flavor is Java Factory Flyin' Hawaiian, yes, I said it and they went there.
Java Factory Flyin' Hawaiian is a blend of macadamia nut and white chocolate in a Kona style flavored coffee. It is also a limited edition summer seasonal coffee, better get it while you can. This blend is sweet and smooth, everything you would expect from this tropical creation. It's absolutely perfect for brewing over ice or hot.

I'm willing to admit I started ugly crying from the start of the movie. You know, one of those cries that start deep in your soul? From the time I was a child, I have always had a pet in some form or the other. So I can honestly say A Dog's Purpose will make you make you question every relationship you have ever had with a fur baby. This is a great movie for those of all ages. It also was a great way to open up a conversation with my kids about our own animals. My family highly recommends it! Watch it with your best "buddy" today and have the tissue box close at hand.
A Dog's Purpose is available on Blu-ray and DVD today!
