After a successful month-long campaign last summer, FOX 8/WGHP and A Cleaner World are partnering with The Salvation Army again to help restock the charity’s local Family Stores. The permanent promotion entitled, “Donate Goods… Do Good” will allow people to donate clothing and other household items at any A Cleaner World location in the Piedmont Triad. All profits made from the Family Store sales directly fund Salvation Army programs that provide basic needs to individuals and families in need.
“We look forward to partnering with The Salvation Army again,” Chris Edwards, President of A Cleaner World said. “This partnership will help The Salvation Army change lives through the donated goods we receive at our stores.”
The campaign will kick off with a live broadcast on the FOX8 Morning News on July 30th from 6-9am at the A Cleaner World at 2527 Eastchester Drive in High Point. A fashion show with items from the local Family Stores will be take place throughout the morning. Yolanda “YC” Broadie of YCB Agency, a local fashion public relations company, will be talking about the most recent fashion trends.
“This new campaign is very exciting as our Family Stores are so critical for us”, said Captain Tony Perez of The Salvation Army of High Point. “It makes it more convenient for people to donate.”
Throughout the year, Salvation Army trucks will pick up items at the A Cleaner World locations in the Piedmont area. This will help in the collection process as well as ensure that the donated items stay in the area where they were given.
