Goodwill Industries of KYOWVA is offering $1 treats and Valentine’s Day cards to customers to support veterans Feb. 1 through 14.
The treats will be hand-delivered to the local veterans Valentine’s Day weekend.
Beth Sanders, sales manager of Goodwill Industries of KYOWVA’s said she loves giving back.
“I have major passion in life for giving back to people, and I want to do something every month at Goodwill to show appreciation to those who have done nice things to us because I am extremely big on giving back to the community,” Sanders said.
Goodwill plans to have an event every month to support the local organizations to build relationships within the community to those who are constantly giving back.
Bradley Ray, a former lance corporal in the U.S. Marines said it is great what organizations do for people who serve.
“It is incredibly heart-warming seeing organizations within the Tri-State community being involved with showing appreciation to those who have served,” Ray said. “It almost brings tears of joy to me whenever I see people showing appreciation to the duty we have done for our country.”
Goodwill is having a “Military March” next month in which people can purchase a post card and fill a box with treats to send overseas to show appreciation to active duty soldiers.
