Goodwill to provide back-to-school vouchers for families in need

MENASHA, Wis. (WKBT) – Goodwill Industries of North Central Wisconsin (NCW) is providing in-store vouchers for back-to-school merchandise to families in need.

Goodwill NCW partners with community organizations throughout 35 counties in north-central Wisconsin to provide $25 vouchers, allowing families to select items from Goodwill retail stores and training centers.

“Goodwill NCW is committed to providing back-to-school vouchers to community agencies and school districts throughout the territory to ensure children have clothing and shoes that fit properly and are weather appropriate as they start a new school year,” said Jennie Moore, Goodwill NCW Vice President-Mission Services. “The need is always great but even more so this year as families are dealing with the financial impact of COVID-19.”

According to a news release, nearly 8,000 vouchers have been distributed to community agencies to hand out at back-to-school fairs, referrals and other means of distribution.

Organizations looking to partner with Goodwill NCW for back-to-school vouchers are asked to contact November Behm at nbehm@goodwillncw.org.
