Goodwill isn’t as good as it seems.
Exhorbinant executive pay. Paying disabled employees below the federal minimum wage. Selling items for more than they retailed for. Scholarships given to their employees children first…
While they do still do some good for their communities, they put their execs first and externally paint a very different picture for potential donators and shoppers than the reality inside the organization.
Did you know about all this?

So glad you made this video! I prefer to lug my worn clothing to the Midwest than give it to Goodwill in California.
500b stolen from workers
They also have on the side bidding sites to cash extra on things they think they can make extra money on for example, vintage tees, antiques, art work, etc…. Yep that’s goodwill
So where should we take our donations?
@kennwaks They will literally turn you away from their career training programs if you have ANY kind of criminal record and offer you a position in their stores making $8/hr !!!! Goodwill is not here to help people, they take advantage of the most vulnerable and hide behind Christianity.
Don’t give to goodwill anymore
I just need somewhere to throw our used clothes to bro. In reality
Same with Howard Brown of all places! Grrrr
😡😡😡

I stop donating anything. I literally give money to people I know and help my neighbours. My whole neighbourhood is like that.
