Summer will be over before we know it, and with back-to-school season comes the return of shopping lists, first-day outfits, and classroom items.

Those seemingly small purchases can add up quickly. That's where Goodwill comes in.

If you're looking for an easy way to save without sacrificing style, consider making Goodwill of Central and Coastal Virginia one of your first stops.

Need a little inspiration? Keep an eye out for:

Dorm room décor to give your space a fresh look for less
One-of-a-kind outfits that are less likely to have you matching someone else
Backpacks, school supplies, and teacher finds to check off the essentials

Shopping secondhand is also a simple way to make a more sustainable choice. Plus, each Goodwill store has its own unique inventory, refreshed often, so every visit offers something new.

Every purchase helps support local workforce development programs that give Richmonders the tools to build skills, prepare for employment, and access new opportunities.
