Long lines of generous donors turned out to Goodwill locations across the state to take advantage of end-of-year tax write offs and to Do Some Good for our community on the last day of the year. These "procrastinators" were rewarded with hot cocoa and cookies as Goodwill locations prepared for what is traditionally the busiest donation day of the year.
