"Stuff the Truck" Event Kicks Off Bergner's Goodwill Sale

-
Goodwill of Central Illinois and Bergner’s will hold their semi-annual donation drive from Wednesday, September 14th through Wednesday, September 28th. During the promotion, every item donated to Goodwill will earn the donor a 20% off coupon from Bergner’s.

On opening day, September 14th, donors will receive double coupons. For every one item donated, the donor will receive two coupons. On that day, Goodwill will have a truck at the Bergner’s at The Shoppes at Grand Prairie. The goal is to “Stuff the Truck” with donations.

“This continues to be a great event for Bergner’s shoppers and Goodwill donors,” says Jodi Sullivan, Director of Merchandise Development. “This sale provides donors an opportunity to receive coupons for items that aren’t typically on sale, like perfumes, cosmetics and designer apparel.”

According the Jim Lynch, Director of Development, “Through the sale of these donated items, Goodwill is able to continue funding programs for the people of central Illinois. Our wide variety of programs center on one mission, supporting individuals and families who are working to better their lives. Because of partnerships like the Goodwill Sale at Bergner’s, Goodwill is able to provide all of our programs for free. Simply put, donations change lives.”

Donations can be made at any Bergner’s location or any Goodwill store or donation center. For more information on Goodwill’s locations and services please visit www.goodwillpeo.org or call 309-682-1113. Goodwill can also be found on Facebook by searching Goodwill Industries of Central Illinois.
