Top five ways to give the gift of Goodwill this holiday season

PHOENIX (Dec. 3, 2009) — Giving the gift of Goodwill is particularly important during the holiday season. And for the Arizona community, the gift of Goodwill means helping put people back on their feet and empowering them through employment. While many may want to give back during the holidays, the economy has made it more difficult to make charitable giving a priority. Goodwill of Central Arizona wants to remind the community that giving this season can be as easy as donating material goods, shopping at your local Goodwill store or making a cash donation to the Working Poor Tax Credit that gives you a dollar-for-dollar tax credit up to $400 if you qualify.
