I didn’t know this at first, but shopgoodwill.com is the first Internet auction site created, owned and operated by a nonprofit organization. Goodwill’s from across the country offer for auction on the site antiques and collectibles as well as new items pulled from their inventories of donated goods. Proceeds from shopgoodwill.com fund programming for people with disabilities to help them find work.
