If you’re not a V.I.P. member already, you can scan the QR code on Monday, and as you would expect, the tote bags will be available for purchase at all Minnesota Goodwill locations. 

The QR codes are visible near the entrance of each store. Plus look for signs around the store as well outlining the details of the deal.

If you’ve been in a Goodwill store recently, you can tell that more and more people are turning to these stores for clothes, furniture, home goods and more. The attraction for most people is the allure of being able to save money with everything else costing more. 

But there’s a bigger mission for Goodwill than just helping you save money. Goodwill helps people find work, through jobs at their stores, but they also offer training to people who need a helping hand getting into the workforce.

Goodwill even offers college guidance by helping the students select a program that they are interested in, overcome obstacles that might keep them away from school and help with how to balance school with work and life.
