The Fall Haul Edition

The Goodwill Fall Haul

Here is a unique win-win-win opportunity. Please consider donating any unused items that you may have to Goodwill during their Fall Haul campaign which runs through the end of November. The William Fremd National Honor Society chapter has partnered with Goodwill to sponsor this event at our school.

The positives of this campaign are:

• Someone else can make good use of items you no longer need or use.
• You can play a part in helping Fremd High School win this year’s Goodwill Fall Haul. Click here for details.
• You can enter the holiday season without having that New Year’s resolution looming over you to finally organize that out of control closet, dresser or garage!

Note: Fremd High School is accepting clothing at our school which will be taken to Goodwill – other items need to be taken directly to an attended Goodwill Donation Center. Please feel free to send your student with a bag of clothes which they can drop off here at school.
