There’s a Gift inside Every Gift Purchased at

Goodwill Central Coast — your Holiday Shopping

Headquarters

What if you could buy someone a holiday gift that would keep on giving long after the wrapping
paper is recycled?

Salinas, CA, November 06, 2019 - That’s the reality when shoppers comb the aisles or the online store
at Goodwill. Each purchase enables the community-based nonprofit to better fund its job-training and
employment placement services — so you’re actually giving twice.

Make Goodwill Central Coast your holiday headquarters — from setting your Thanksgiving table to
finding that perfect gift on Black Friday and beyond.

Thanksgiving
Goodwill Central Coast stores are closed on Thanksgiving Day, allowing employees time with their
families. But gearing up for Turkey Day has never been easier thanks to the wide range of items
Goodwill sells at lower-than-retail prices.

Find deals on platters, wine glasses, table runners, silverware and more. Or create that perfect DIY
tablescape with marked-down items such as candles, ornate pumpkins and decorative linens.

Black Friday
The busiest shopping day of the year begins at 7 a.m. at all Goodwill Central Coast stores. Find 25
percent off all items marked with a colored tag, along with Door Buster specials on new goods (including
cookware).

Arrive early and stay late for two daily drawings in each store, where you could walk away with special
merchandise.

Other special shopping days

There’s always a good excuse to shop at Goodwill during the Season of Giving. Join us for Small Business
Saturday (Nov. 30), Sorting Sunday (Dec. 1) or Giving Tuesday (Dec. 3). Except for Thanksgiving, our
stores are open throughout the holiday season.

Stocking Stuffer Campaign

Throughout December, all Goodwill Central Coast stores will put an emphasis on stocking stuffers priced
in four categories (under $20, under $10, under $5, and under $2).
The list of stocking stuffers is as long as your imagination, but popular items include jewelry, games,
earbuds, phone chargers, candy, ornaments, decorative mugs and books.

Donations
Remember, if you’re not in the shopping frame of mind, you can donate new and gently used items to
Goodwill — all treasures for someone else to find and turn into jobs. From home pick-ups to tax write-
offs, Goodwill makes donating as easy as possible. Find out more at www.ccgoodwill.org.
