Saturday, Dec. 31, is expected to be the busiest donation day of the year for Goodwill, thanks to the organization’s Procrastinator’s Delight donation program, designed to give procrastinators one last chance to get year-end tax credits for donated goods.
“New Year’s Eve is an important day for Goodwill because those end of year donations are the life-blood of our organization,” says Jesse Wolff, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Denver. “Every year we see a magnificent outpouring of support from the community as cars line up at all of our stores and donation centers to make a holiday donation that makes a difference.”
The Procrastinator’s Delight program yields more than a tax deduction. Revenues from both retail and financial donations support Goodwill’s career development programs for at-risk youth, struggling adults and individuals with disabilities.
Goodwill accepts clothing, household items, toys, computers and vehicles – even those holiday gifts from your mother-in-law! To find the Goodwill near you, visit www.goodwilldenver.org, or call 303-650-7700.
Goodwill provides receipts to donors at its drop-off sites, and attendants can validate itemized lists when they are presented. For general guidelines, visit www.goodwilldenver.org and www.irs.gov
