I am getting on my Goodwill stump again. Many people think that Goodwill is a charity organization. It is actually a FOR PROFIT business. The public donates the goods, Goodwill resells for profit. They DO NOT AS A RULE make donations to those in need. I will say that while our local store is outrageously expensive, they did cut a deal to my stepson for a French Door when he home was totally destroyed in the April 27 tornado here in Mississippi. Our local charities are the Salvation Army and the Thrift Store, which sponsors a local home for troubled children. Having said all that, I have shopped and purchased from Goodwill. Be careful of the junk, no refunds.
