not at all!! the goodwill uses the money raised by those store sales to continue operation and to do things really helpful like food drives, disaster relief, gas money to drive blankets and warm clothes to the homeless, and countless other notable causes (like toy drives).Mozgus wrote:I'd feel guilty buying anything like that at a goodwill.

I admit I don't have a clue how these places work.ubelaffe wrote:Actually, the idea is that the money that goodwill makes off these sales goes to helping the needy and destitute. The people who work there (or the idea used to be) are supposed to be training towards learning a skill like running the cash register and taking inventory, etc... You shouldn't feel bad about it. Every time they sell something, that money is supposed to turn around and help.Mozgus wrote:I'd feel guilty buying anything like that at a goodwill.
