This year, Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette’s (GICW) charitable arm has given more than $128,000 to 20-plus agencies such as Transitional Youth as well as area food programs, like Clatsop Emergency Food Bank, Mid-Columbia Community Action Council in The Dalles, Oregon Food Bank, Lincoln City Food Pantry, Clark County Food Bank and the Union Gospel Mission.
