In many of today’s papers a grim milestone for the country was reached as the jobless rate for October soared above ten percent. It’s the first time since the eighties that the rate has hit that high and no doubt the pressure will be on Washington to get moving on job creation. History has always shown that job growth lags significantly behind economic growth but despite the fact that it was reported the economy had begun growing again in the summer, the high rate of unemployment is of concern to everyone. At a time when people from all walks of life are competing for jobs, it’s vital that Goodwill® continues to help the disadvantaged find jobs through their training, employment and career services. In addition to the infamous Goodwill® stores throughout the country, auto donation remains a viable means of funding these vital programs. With job opportunities few and far between, when you donate a car to Goodwill® you are funding training for people who would otherwise not even be able to compete for work that might be out there.
Goodwill® is North America’s leading non-profit provider of education, training and career services for the disadvantaged and disabled. Today with many people in dire straits due to the economy, such as welfare dependency, homelessness or lack of education, Goodwill® uses car donation as a means of funding programs that help people find a job and become welfare free.
Vehicle donation is used by many non-profit groups but Goodwill® pioneered the concept of using car donation back in the nineteen seventies during the country’s second oil embargo. Today Goodwill® continues to seek people who can donate a car to charity to help people with disabilities get career training that leads to their independence. For people who are unable to afford a car to get or maintain a job, Goodwill® needs people to donate a car for their Wheels to Work program. The Wheels to Work program offers affordable cars so that people can find a job or meet the transportation demands of the job they already have. As unemployment rates soar, Goodwill® needs your car donation more than ever in order that the disabled or disadvantaged can compete in the shrinking job market.
