Goodwill Shows Off it's Fashionable Side



You know that peas and pods go together. And that cookies and milk are stupendous pairing. Now you can add another combo to your line of thinking: fancy fashion and Goodwill

Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois will host its first Goodwill Diva Dress Sale Fundraiser from 10am to 4pm on Sunday, May 16th at the Holiday Inn, 7550 E. State Street, Rockford.

The inaugural Diva Dress Sale is a doozie. Goodwill staff have gethered more than 1,000 cocktail, little-black, prom, wedding, and bridesmaid dresses in perfect condition and teh latest styles from six of its stores in Rockford, Machesney Park, Sterling, DeKalb, Beloit, WI, and Freeport.

The dresses will be priced from $10 to $30. Shoes and handbags will cost $5. And a piece of jewelry will sell for $2. The proceeds will fund Goodwill's programs that provide jobs, training and placement services for people with barriers to gaining employment in the Rock River Valley.

Special-occasion dresses for the dress sale may be dropped off before May 16th at teh Goodwill headquarters at 315 N Main Street, Rockford, from 8am to 4pm or at the six store locations, where donations of all kinds are always accepted from 9am to 8pm Mondays through Fridays, 9am to 5pm Saturdays, and 10am to 5pm on Sundays.
