For one day only, guests are invited to Rummage Around at Goodwill San Antonio for great finds including clothes, shoes, accessories, furniture, home décor, and more, donated by the Junior League of San Antonio members and others. In addition to finding outstanding treasures, purchases will help organizations who are standing up and helping out in our community.

The Junior League of San Antonio and Goodwill San Antonio are celebrating 11 years of partnership to help others serving the needs of our community at the annual Rummage Around Shopping Event. The event, which has become the BIGGEST shopping day of the year at Goodwill, will be held on Saturday, February 22, 2020 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at 11 at participating Goodwill San Antonio store locations. In addition, every customer that makes a purchase will help support the important work of 16 local non-profits:

· Alpha Home

· Antioch Food Bank

· Any Baby Can of San Antonio, Inc.

· Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio

· Boy Scouts of America - Alamo Area Council

· Child Advocates San Antonio (CASA)

· Clarity Child Guidance Center

· Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center

· Epilepsy Foundation Central & South Texas

· Good Samaritan Community Services

· Guide Dogs of Texas, Inc.

· Latched Support

· Magdalena House (Magdalena Ministries, Inc.)

· Roy Maas Youth Alternatives

· SA Christian Hope Resource Center

· San Antonio Metropolitan Ministry, Inc. (SAMMinistries)

 

Over the 11-year partnership, Goodwill has received more than $850,000 in donations from Junior League members which translates to more than $310,000 in Goodwill gift cards granted to community partners and nonprofits. Sales from this year’s event day will help to provide more than $40,000 in gift cards to area non-profits who serve individuals and families in need.

 

In many cases, non-profit organizations will provide the Goodwill gift cards directly to their clients who will use them to purchase clothing and household items for themselves and their children (often single moms coming out of homelessness or other traumatic circumstances). Other non-profit organizations may use the gift cards to purchase needed items for the curriculum they provide to their clients such as cookware for classes they provide to help individuals learn to live on their own.

 

“Goodwill and the Junior League of San Antonio share a mission to serve the San Antonio community. Together, we each bring unique strengths to the Rummage Around shopping event which has led to its continued success and service to the community,” says Penny Benavidez, Director of Public Relations for Goodwill San Antonio. “By partnering on this annual tradition, we are able to collectively serve our missions and positively those most in need.”
