The Gap teams up with Goodwill for a Clothing Drive to give Customers 30% off

Three cheers for The Gap for announcing a partnership with Goodwill to recycle clothing and give customers a 30% shopping discount at their stores.  I love that the Gap is being so “mindful” but I am sad they let go the talented Patrick Robinson.  I hope he lands somewhere fabulous soon where his talents will be appreciated.  Now back to Gap and Goodwill.

Gap and Goodwill have announced a partnership encouraging consumers to clean out their closets for a cause.  From May 19-29, Gap stores in the United States and Canada will accept clothing donations in support of the Donate Movement, an effort powered by Goodwill to educate the public on the positive impacts donations can have on both people and the planet.

Here’s how the partnership works. When consumers donate clothing to Gap stores during this time period, their donations will be given to Goodwill Industries and then sold in Goodwill’s more than 2,500 stores. In exchange for their donations,  donors will receive 30-percent off their entire Gap purchase, including regularly priced and sale items, just in time for Memorial Day shopping. I have to use this as an opportunity to clean out my closet by donating old clothes to the will, the Goodwill that is! I also have to check out the Gap and see if any of those dresses and tops clearly bearing the Patrick Robinson stamp are worth snatching up for 30% off.  Have you checked out the Gap lately readers? Does anything strike your fancy?
