Event Description: COUNTDOWN TO THE END OF THE TAX YEAR! San Diego, CA. Only thirteen days left to contribute to local non-profits and take advantage of IRS charitable contributions for 2012. Mrs. Beth Forsberg, Goodwill’s VP of Operations, wants to remind everyone that “On New Year’s Eve, which falls on a Monday this year, we’ve got a line of cars at every donation center from the time we open at 8:30am until last call at 5:00pm. Don’t wait until the last minute, unless you enjoy waiting in line! We encourage everyone to think ahead, maybe drop things off this week, or over the weekend. Goodwill is open 7 days (except Christmas Day) - it will save you time and stress.”. Mike Rowan, CEO of Goodwill Industries of San Diego County added “New Year’s Eve is our busiest day of the year”. Toni Giffin, VP of Human Resources and Support Services said “Your donated items become the fuel that supports our purpose of “Getting People Jobs. From the time you donate, through the sorting, sale or recycling process you are creating employment, job training, and a future for your neighbors. We have over 1,000 employees in San Diego County, your neighbors and friends. Be an inspiration to those around you, and donate today.” TWELVE REASONS TO DONATE TO GOODWILL! 1. It’s a very green thing to do, reduce, reuse, recycle (you know the drill). 2. You may be able to deduct the fair market value of your contributions at tax time. 3.
