Wow, I didn't know that Goodwill has been around for so long. I also didn't know that they started in Detroit. Greater Detroit needs all of the help it can get in these tough times. Here's to hoping that Goodwill is around for another 90 yeasrs!
ReplyDeleteI recently read that Goodwill of Greater Detroit was named Crain's best managed non-profit for 2011. This is great news and will do wonders for the future of the company. Some people are hesitant to donate if they feel an organization will waste money. Crain's has a large following and this could mean great things for the future of the organization. I think what they do is great and hope like Caleb they have another 90 years serving the people of Greater Detroit.
