No accessories needed for this ensemble, the faux fur is statement enough. If you’re planning a trip this winter, channel this look!   Whether you’re heading to Seattle for their annual Goodwill Glitter Gala and Sale or taking a trip to Mauna Kea on Hawai’i Island, this jacket will serve you well.  Speaking of Hawai’i Island… have you heard  the buzz? – There’s now a Goodwill store in Kona.  This is great news for Kona residents not only because of the great deals they’ll find in home decor and fashion, but the community will now have access to Goodwill’s programs and services.

This Goodwill Hunter found a similar look – a vest for $225 in the Rachel Zoe collection sold at Neiman Marcus.

When you shop at Goodwill, you’re truly supporting your community.  Since 1959, Goodwill Industries of Hawaii’s 501(c)3 non-profit mission has been to help people with employment barriers to reach their full potential and become self-sufficient. In 2010-2011, Goodwill achieved this by serving over 15,000 people statewide through its career development, employment services, and education/training programs.  More than 1,500 individuals in our community were directly employed during this period as a result of Goodwill’s mission focus.

In the year leading up to Goodwill Goes GLAM! in 2012, the Goodwill Hunter will highlight fashion finds set aside for THE big event. Goodwill Industries of Hawaii presents the inaugural Goodwill Goes GLAM!, a showcase of talent, treasure and style — all for a great cause. When you purchase items at Goodwill, know that more than 90 percent of the retail revenue goes to programs that help people with employment barriers become self-sufficient.
