✨Mission Moment✨ This year marks the 10th anniversary of Carmel Yum Yums, a business owned by Tonya Burton in Otisville, Michigan. Carmel Yum Yums offers gluten-free caramelized corn puffs in various flavors, free from artificial colors and high fructose corn syrup, and made in a nut-free kitchen. Tonya started making these treats as Christmas gifts, and the demand grew. Balancing care for her daughter and mother, and her neurological disability, she transitioned from a 20-year hairstyling career. In 2014, she began selling Carmel Yum Yums using Goodwill’s commercial kitchen and later expanded to a larger space. Today, her products are available across Michigan at locations like Porter’s Orchard and the Flint Farmer’s Market.

📢Create Generational Change Through the Power of Work📢
Earlier this week our team visited beautiful Ft. Worth, TX to attend the Goodwill Delegate Assembly where Goodwill executives from all over the country get together to collaborate. We want to extend a huge thank you to our hosts Goodwill North Central Texas and their team who worked tirelessly to pull off the event. We always appreciate the chance to shake hands with our partners and tell our story to new partners looking to grow their donations with us. The power of work through Goodwill is multi generational change so hearing more about the lives that they've impacted is another reminder of why we're so passionate to support them by making giving simple for their donors. Excited for the future! Chris Macnamara Paul Griffin Matt Hernandez Paul Tocci #givingmadesimple #thepowerofwork #delegateassembly #goodwill

This is a skill issue. You can find 100% cotton clothes at any thrift store. I get that thrifting IRL can be hit or miss, and that most new clothes manufactured nowadays are polyester or polyblends. But it *is* possible to find 100% cotton, silk, linen, and other natural fibers at the thrift store. I’ve been thrifting since I was a kid and 100% of my closet has been secondhand for over 13 years. If IRL isn’t an option, then try these online thrifting tips: 1️⃣ Tip 1: Search alerts on resale sites If you know exactly what you’re looking for, then use search-driven resale sites: • Beni: browser plug-in to instantly find secondhand version of new items • Gem Search, LLC: like Google for all secondhand online • ThredUp: online consignment store where you can filter by material (e.g., there are 25,000+ results for 100% cotton dresses right now) 2️⃣ Tip 2: Thrift treasure hunting If you’re in a treasure hunting mood and exploring your style, then try: • Teleport: it's like TikTok for thrifting fashion • ShopGoodwill.com: Goodwill's auction site for vintage & premium items • EstateSales.NET: find estate sales in your area 3️⃣ Tip 3: Style bundles If you don't want to DIY thrift shopping, then get a custom style bundle from a secondhand stylist on Teleport. It's like having your own personal shopper and stylist—but all secondhand. • you send your Pinterest inspo or other style preferences • they source & send a curated bundle of secondhand clothes directly to you Are you planning to shop 100% cotton and other natural fibers in this summer heat?

The world now throws out 92 million tons of clothes a year and only about an eighth of it gets recycled, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. What happens to the rest? They either hit landfill or are burned... Now, researchers at the University of Delaware are proposing a new recycling technique that breaks down blended fabrics using chemicals and microwaves. Researchers say the process takes 15 minutes and can dissolve any blend of cotton, polyester, nylon and spandex into molecules that can be used to make new fabrics or products like dyes, electronics and tires. While this would be a huge game changer, we still need to address the way fast fashion produces apparel - both in terms of quality and quantity. Read more in The Washington Post
