Not only do they promote reuse and recycling through their retail stores, but the revenue from their stores helps to fund programs that get people back to work and lead independent lives.” Ms. Dillingham encourages participants to visit their local Goodwill store to purchase their sweaters for the contest. Michelle Smith, Communications Manager for Goodwill Industries of Northern New England, noted that holiday sweaters are a big seller this time of year. “People throughout northern New England host holiday sweater parties this time of year and we love that people turn to Goodwill. Not only can you find that perfect reindeer sweater, but you are also supporting your neighbors and local economy when you shop with Goodwill.” For more information and to register, please visit Maine Events by Design http://maineeventsbydesign.net/ Wells Corner Shopping Center is located in the heart of Wells, Maine and is home to Wells Super Foods, ME & D’s Diner, Wells Super Wash, Sherwin Williams & Nail Creations.
