YOU aren't an MGB member?

 
Are you a regular shopper at Michiana area Goodwill Stores?

Are you an MGB Member?




Wait, WHAT?  You don't know what that is?


It seems everywhere we shop these days, we get enrolled in a new rewards program. These programs are amazing ways to save money... just by doing what we are already doing... SHOPPING! We at Goodwill love the idea of rewarding our regular customers for loyalty.

The Michiana Goodwill Boosters program does that and helps Goodwill employees too!  (tip: shopping insiders call this program MGB).  It was formed to help the community learn more about Goodwill's mission, programs and needs - and to show appreciation for Goodwill's employees.  Special holiday meals and employee awards are among the many things that MGB does throughout the year to encourage Goodwill staff.


Michiana Goodwill Boosters is a community based support organization that exists to assist in the work of Goodwill Industries of Michiana, Inc. The mission of Goodwill is to provide jobs, training, and placement services for people with barriers to employment.


The other goal of Michiana Goodwill Boosters is to thank loyal customers with exclusive Membership Benefits...

 

  1. As a Michiana Goodwill Booster, you will receive a $5.00 off purchase of $10.00 or more Member Coupon for each month. 
  2. Exclusive special promotions are also available to MGB members only like special 50% off sale dates.
So I bet you are wondering, HOW DO I SIGN UP?


Well, all you need to do is fill out the application (click here to download), and take it to the Goodwill Industries of Michiana store closest to you

..and, of course, START SHOPPING!

Black Friday and Giving Tuesday...all year 'round!

It's interesting, isn't it.

Black Friday and Giving Tuesday only come around once a year.

Why is it that only one time a year we are able to find great deals when shopping for the things our family wants and needs, and why is it that only once a year we are encouraged to do good in our community and give-back? 

In a perfect world, these things would happen all year around.
In a perfect world, these things would happen together...wait...THEY DO!


What's this all about?
We’re glad you asked!  

At Goodwill, we appreciate your donations.  We know many of you are moms who are clearing out the clutter at home and donating it to us.  Your donations help Goodwill fulfill its mission so others in our community can learn how to get and keep jobs.  


The Goodwill Loves Moms Reward Program gives us a chance to say: “Thank You” to those who donate on a regular basis.



How does it work?
It’s simple, really.  For just $5 you can sign-up at any Goodwill Industries of Michiana Retail Store.  You’ll receive a re-useable Donation Bag and a Reward Card.  

As you sort through things at home, fill your Donation Bag.  Then, take it to any Goodwill Industries of Michiana Drive-thru Donation Center.  Each time you fill the bag and donate, we’ll validate your Reward Card with a stamp.

When your card is full, mail us the card and we’ll send you a $25.00 Goodwill Shopping Certificate that you can use in any of our stores.  It’s just that easy!

More details about the program can be found HERE.
