Sometimes there are ideas and initiatives that are ok. Sometimes they’re good. And sometimes they’re GREAT. In my opinion, this is the latter. Simply GREAT!
You know those Amazon boxes that pile up at your house around the holidays? The ones you scratch your head to dispose of, or break down to save, or whatever?
Well, now you can put them to REALLY good use!
Once your box is empty, fill it full of things you want to donate to Goodwill. Just fill it up. Then, go the the website givebackbox.com, and print a FREE shipping label.
That’s it!
(except for the physically taking it to the post office part 🙂 )
What a super initiative. And Amazon is not the only participating retailer. There are quite a few others, as well. “Give Back Box® has also teamed up with some of the biggest retailers in the U.S., including Overstock, Amazon, Loft, REI, Levi’s, Asics, Ann Taylor, Uncommongoods, Bon-Ton, Viva Terra, Ecru, Bonobos, Scrubs & Beyond, eBags, Lou & Grey and Cherry Mad.”
I haven’t tried this yet, but I am anxious to give it a whirl, and I suspect I will become a regular user!

Thank you for sharing yet another great idea! Merry Christmas!
And a Happy New Year to you!
Wow! That’s a great initiative. Now if we only knew what Goodwill does with the money it makes from selling these things.
You make a great point! For now I’ll assume it’s used for good……..
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you, too! I hope all is going well with you.
Great idea – thank you. ps I found this link through a comment on our MSA South African blog. 🙂
Oh, yes! Glad to meet you! You’re “THE” Karin? Your loving kindness is extraordinary. Although I’m a stranger on the other side of the world, I think of Sonja often. You’re quite a pair….. an inspiring duo. Please share my best wishes with her.
Wow – thank you for your kind comment. Is there a way I can contact you privately?
Sure! If you slide down the left side of this blog, there is a contact button. Send me a message through that, and I will have your email address. I’ll then answer you with my own email address and we’ll be connected! Looking forward to hearing from you. 🙂
What a great idea! I hope it comes here.
