In the process of downsizing, we brought over a car-full of furniture, cookware, rugs and other items. As he doesn't read my reviews, I'll be candid: by no stretch of the imagination is my husband a young man. There he is schlepping heavy stuff in the rain from the car to the lobby, while Goodwill's young, fit, paid employee stood watching. I got out of the car, visibly annoyed. "Can't you help?!" I asked. "No," he responded. "I don't want to get wet." Over the years we've donated a bunch of stuff to Goodwill in various states around the country. Never have we encountered such a lazy employee and a facility that lets him get away with it. Reading others' reviews, poor customer service is typical here. Management, what are you doing about it?

My daughters and I recently volunteered with their school at Mitzvah Circle Foundation on MLK Day…read more I was so touched by this organization which helped 45,000 people, including over 2,000 children with developmental issues last year alone. I really enjoyed not only meeting, but hearing what founder Fran had to say about her original plans for her non profit organization (which grew tremendously over the last few years), as well as their mission, and how the process exactly works. She told touching stories of those she has helped and it really inspired me to do more! I really liked knowing that our time was really needed and our donations were headed to the appropriate places. I love the fact that The Mitzvah Circle creates individualized care packages. They aim to satisfy the personal needs of each and every family/person on a one on one basis. Whether it's school supplies, outerwear, educational toys, pajamas, or sturdy shoes, they will do their best to send seasonal, correctly sized items with each package their volunteers create and deliver. They have many ways you can help... -Donating very gently used items on weekdays. Their motto for donating clothes is "if you wouldn't put it on your child or wear it, don't send it". They noted the item we bag up and send may be the nicest article of clothing they have. Good to keep in mind. It definitely makes this Mama feel a lot better about some of those pricier items we part with. They accept all sizes, all season, all genders. Shoes are definitely an item they don't have enough of! Send 'em!They ask that you call or email before dropping off so they can be sure someone can help you unload your goods. They did say email is the fastest method of communication. -Donating a monetary gift through their site. That money will be used to purchase diapers and baby soap. (They are the ONLY organization which provides diapers to families in neeed! They also send out 500 bottle of baby soap every 2 weeks!) -Volunteer. There are many days to lend a hand. I posted a photo of upcoming available dates of service. Often groups, schools and business come together and select a day to help out too! Contact them if you think you may have a larger group interested in helping out! Volunteering was rewarding and easy. They are a very organized and well oiled machine. My children ages 5&7 had no issues helping out. They really enjoyed bagging the 5 toiletry items as well seeing how fast they could help us separate the garments by size into appropriate bins. Everything was explained well and we accomplished a great deal in our 3 hour slot. I've already been bagging up some goods to take up there. If you are looking to give a bit more in whatever way you can this year, I couldn't recommend this organization any more! I was happy to be a part of it and look forward to working with them a lot more!

She gave me a tour of their warehouse where they sort and ship donations to those who need then the most but cannot afford. These include school supplies for deserving kids, shoes, toiletries, food, books, etc. I was so impressed by this kind-hearted lady and appreciate the amount of effort and dedication it takes to run such an organization. So glad to be able to chip in with what I can to help those in need through this organization.

https://share.inquirer.com/Ri7TPI…read more For the last year, my family has been devastated over this incident and Jefferson's response to this violence. Instead of doing the right thing, they damaged the life of a patient. Jefferson Health - Abington antagonized and ultimately fired my husband for defending this patient. He exhausted every level of Jefferson management and executive offices to report the incident and protect the patient. Instead, Jefferson allowed the patient to be charged criminally with assault of the officer who assaulted her. Instead, Jefferson did not report this as a serious safety event. Instead Jefferson allowed the patient to believe she harmed someone. Instead, Jefferson retaliated against my husband and ultimately fired him.
