Goodwill and Area Cleaners Team Up for Project Wear & Share

In an effort to entice individuals to clean out their closets and give back to their community, Goodwill Industries-Knoxville, Inc. and local dry cleaners are bringing Goodwill’s 21st Annual Project Wear and Share to the Knoxville community for the entire month of February.

This annual material drive provides community members with the opportunity to donate gently used materials such as clothing and linens at approximately 40 dry cleaning establishments throughout the Greater Knoxville area.  Following a complimentary cleaning service, donated materials will be sold at one of Goodwill Industries-Knoxville, Inc.’s 26 area retail facilities. Check your local dry cleaner to if they’re participating!

Proceeds from the sales of these donations will go to benefit Goodwill and its efforts in vocational training and employment opportunities for individuals with barriers to employment.  In 2010, Goodwill served nearly 3,700 individuals and experienced approximately 3,300 positive program closures.

For more information about Project Wear and Share, please contact the Marketing Department at 865.588.8567.
