“ROUND-UP CAMPAIGN” TO SUPPORT THE AMERICAN RED CROSS FOR MAUI WILDFIRES

Goodwill Industries of Lane and South Coast Counties and Alaska (Goodwill) will join the community to
provide assistance for individuals affected by the devastating wildfires on Maui.
Beginning Sunday, September 3rd and running through Saturday September 9th, Goodwill will conduct a
Round Up campaign for the American Red Cross and will match up to $20,000 in contributions made at
any of its stores located in the following states/cities:
ALASKA: Anchorage and Wasilla
OREGON: Brookings, Cottage Grove, Eugene, Florence, Junction City, North Bend, Springfield
Individuals can contribute by rounding up their purchase or simply walking in and making a donation at
any register.
“The American Red Cross has been busy this summer deploying responders to disasters across the
country, including the devastating fires in Lahaina, Maui. We are so grateful for partners like Goodwill,
who help us provide the best service delivery. Financial donations truly are the best way to support
people experiencing disaster because their needs are unique and can change at a moment’s notice,” says
Red Cross CEO Priscilla Fuentes. “By contributing a financial donation, you're allowing the Red Cross to
put that donation to work where it's needed most. A donation to Goodwill will help with relief supplies
like cots, blankets, lost prescription medications, and meals and snacks. We have been partnering with
Goodwill for years and appreciate our collaboration with them.”
Libby Steffen-Schafermeyer, spokesperson for Goodwill: “Our hearts go out to those impacted by these
devastating wildfires on Maui and we hope Goodwill’s match of the funds raised by our generous
communities will assist the Red Cross with meeting the immediate needs of those affected.”

Goodwill’s mission is to provide vocational opportunities to individuals with barriers to employment. For
