GOODWILL OF GREATER GRAND RAPIDS SUPPORTS LOCAL TEACHERS WITH BOOK GIVEAWAY ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 9
Grand Rapids, MI – In honor of the significant role educators play in the lives of our youth, Goodwill of Greater Grand Rapids will be giving teachers five free books of their choosing, in addition to a 20% discount on their entire purchase on Saturday, August 9.
“At Goodwill, we’re committed to empowering individuals, and we know teachers are essential to that work. By giving books directly to local educators, we’re not just offering resources. We’re investing in knowledge, inspiration, and the future. This initiative reflects our deep appreciation for those who inspire and uplift others every single day,” said Kim Madsen, VP of Marketing and Operations, Goodwill of Greater Grand Rapids.
This one-day event will take place at all Goodwill of Greater Grand Rapids store locations. Teachers are welcome to visit more than one store. The book giveaway includes all books in inventory, not just children’s titles. In addition, teachers will receive 20% off their entire purchase, helping them save on classroom supplies, books, workwear, and more. A valid teacher ID is required at checkout.
“We’re proud to support local educators as they prepare for the school year. Whether it’s through books or a great deal on essentials, we wish all teachers a successful start to the new year,” said Madsen.
