If you or people who gave you presents did much of your Christmas shopping online, you will accumulate lots of Amazon boxes. Don’t throw them away! Amazon has partnered with Goodwill for an ingenious program.
Save the box. Then fill it with something you would like to donate to Goodwill. Go to GiveBackBox.com, where you can print a label that will give you free shipping! Then put the box in the mail or give it to UPS.
Do you see the beauty of this? When you get “stuff,” you will be able to also get rid of “stuff.” Instead of just accumulating more and more possessions that fill your home and bury you under their material volume, this can help you perhaps keep on more of an even keel. Also, of course and most importantly, you are helping those served by Goodwill who do not have so much. Here is a video about the program:
From Amazon, Goodwill team up to use empty shipping boxes | www.wokv.com:
Amazon and Goodwill are teaming up to use empty shipping boxes and get rid of the clutter filling homes with the Give Back Box program.
After removing items from the Amazon box, a user fills it with clothes, accessories and other items you want to donate and then visits GiveBackBox.com to print a free shipping label. The box can be dropped off at the post office or UPS or picked up.
Donations go to the closest Goodwill participating in the Give Back Box program.
