Goodwill Industries Does That?

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Aug. 31, 2018 - PRLog -- Goodwill's retail concept has been around since 1902, but most people would be surprised to learn that there's a lot more to Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida than donating and shopping.

With more than 25 store locations and other buildings and sidewalks to maintain, it makes sense that the local non-profit owns its own pressure washing equipment, according to Michael Cloutier, Goodwill Services Director.

"But residents and businesses can benefit from our pressure washing services too, because our employees are insured and bondable," Cloutier said.

Estimates and appointments are available and new customers can receive 10 percent off during the month of September by calling Cloutier at (239) 995-2106 extension 2235.

"When people hire Goodwill to clean their homes, businesses, boats or lanais, the proceeds go toward our mission," Cloutier added.

Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves Collier, Lee, Charlotte, Hendry and Glades counties. Its mission is to help people with disabilities and disadvantages by offering life-changing opportunities to achieve independence.
