Boomtown Casino Hotel and Goodwill Industries
Team up for Clothing Drive

The employees of Boomtown Casino Hotel Bossier City and Goodwill Industries of North Louisiana are teaming up to launch a new donation campaign active Tuesday, May 1 through Thursday, May 31. Boomtown and Goodwill hope to emphasize the positive impact that donating clothing and other household goods can have on communities and the planet. Through the "Donate Movement," Goodwill^® and Boomtown are challenging people to rid their closets and homes of unwanted clothes and put them to good use by donating them. Donations will be accepted by Boomtown at the hotel front desk.  Boomtown team members will also be participating in the clothing drive.

When you donate the items you no longer need to Goodwill, you are helping someone find a job, strengthening your community and preserving the planet. Your donations also help the environment by allowing other people to repurpose the items so they can be diverted from landfills.

Through a partnership with Boomtown, all donations to Goodwill assist in providing job training programs, employment placement services and other community-based services. These programs provide assistance to people with disabilities, people who lack education or job experience and others who are facing challenges to finding employment. Goodwill’s mission is fulfilled through the collection and sale of donated goods, which fund these critical programs.

Join Boomtown and Goodwill in donating responsibly. Learn more about how donations help Goodwill’s mission at http://donate.goodwill.org.
