Dear Editor,

Once again, I am writing to thank the residents of Somerville for demonstrating their community spirit and commitment to sustainability by donating more than one million pounds of clothing and household goods to Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries in 2025.

Goodwill is a community-based nonprofit that relies on these donations to support its mission. Each year, it provides job training and career services to help thousands of individuals with barriers to self-sufficiency to achieve independence and dignity through work.

The Somerville Goodwill store is located at 230 Elm Street, and is open Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 7 pm and Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm.

Everyone has items to donate and I am deeply grateful to each Somerville resident who chooses to donate them to Goodwill. You make a difference.

Sincerely,

Joanne K. Hilferty
President and CEO
Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries
