Hello Chris,

Summer is winding down and before we know it, it will be time to
drag out the sweaters again. But what are we supposed to do with
shrunken or out-of-style sweaters?

There are many ways to reuse sweaters, as Tina Hilton outlines in her
online article.

At Goodwill/Easter Seals, we love to reuse! We love reusing so much
that we keep 20 million pounds of merchandise out of landfills every
year. This year, we are launching a new volunteer activity called
Extend Goodwill. Through our Extend Goodwill activities, volunteers
"upcycle" merchandise from our Goodwill stores and create beautiful
hats, mittens and scarves. Learn what "upcycle" means here:

Please consider volunteering with us. Open our volunteer position page:

We have opportunities available during the daytime, evenings and
weekends, for both short-term and longer-term commitments. We accept
volunteers with all levels of experience, and will teach you everything you need to know. This is a great opportunity to volunteer with your church, business, school or family this fall and winter. Without your help, we cannot continue this project! Volunteer now. Find out about our many opportunities to get involved:

successfully re-enter society. Take part in this forum and make a
difference! Get the details >>
