Goodwill Industries of Central Florida (GICF) is holding a “round up” to benefit the YMCA of Central Florida through August 31st.
Goodwill shoppers in Orange County, Osceola County, Seminole County, Brevard County, Volusia County, and Lake County can round up their purchases to the nearest dollar. The money will support YMCA programs that provide middle and high schoolers with a caring environment, mentorship opportunities and the tools to reach their dreams. Goodwill Industries of Central Florida (GICF) will match the funds up to $10,000.
“For more than 65 years, our shoppers have helped us invest in community programs that enrich lives,” said Dr. Bahíyyah Maroon, Goodwill’s Vice President of Mission Impact. “Through this initiative, Goodwill is proud to collaborate with the Y to create a bright future for Central Florida children.”
The YMCA of Central Florida is currently working to expand its transformative programs – such as swimming classes and college readiness services – to the neighborhoods that need them the most.
“As a community nonprofit, the YMCA of Central Florida relies on the support of our community advocates and donors,” said Kevin Bolding, President & CEO of the YMCA of Central Florida. “We are grateful to Goodwill Industries of Central Florida for the opportunity to be the recipients of their Round Up Initiative which will provide greater access and much-needed services that improve the lives of our neighbors in need.”
GICF leverages the ability to round up every purchase to generate additional funding for other organizations and disaster response.
