Dear Editor,

Somerville residents, your generosity in 2024 was extraordinary! Together, you donated over 875 thousand pounds of clothing and household goods to Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries, a community-based nonprofit organization.

Last year, Goodwill served more than 6,600 people in its job training programs and career services, helping individuals facing barriers find jobs and create new lives.

Donating to Goodwill is an easy way to reuse and recycle, and it provides those who need to stretch their budgets in today’s economy access to quality goods at affordable prices. Your donations make a difference.

Please continue to bring your gently used clothing and household items to the attended trailer inside the Goodwill store, at 230 Elm Street in Somerville. (open 10 am to 5 pm daily)

Thank you for supporting Goodwill!

Joanne K. Hilferty
President and CEO
Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries
