BOSTON (January 17, 2025) – Beginning Friday, January 24, residents of Waltham and surrounding communities will have a local and convenient way to donate their clothing, household goods, and other items to Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries.
“Goodwill is a community-based nonprofit organization. Its mission is to help individuals with barriers to self-sufficiency to achieve independence and dignity through work,” said Joanne K.
