I am writing to thank the residents of Amherst and Northampton for demonstrating their community spirit and commitment to sustainability by donating nearly 1.6 million pounds of clothing and household goods to Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries in 2025.
Goodwill is a community-based nonprofit that relies on these donations to support its mission. Each year, it provides job training and career services to help thousands of individuals with barriers to self-sufficiency to achieve independence and dignity through work.
You can donate at the Goodwill stores in Amherst and Northampton. For more information, visit www.goodwillmass.org.
Everyone has items to donate and I am deeply grateful to each Amherst and Northampton resident who chooses to donate them to Goodwill. You make a difference.
Joanne K. Hilferty, president and CEO
Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries
