Home Made - Kitchen may close from June to July.

It has been a while since my last post.  The past few days have been hectic. I was too busy to cook. Because my lease is expiring, I am looking for a new place to move in. Now,  I am packing up my stuffs and clearing things. I didn't realize that I had so many things in my storage until I opened it last week. I decide to donate some of my clothes to GoodWill...

Goodwill, it reminds me a lady whom I met in middle of the town. Her name is R. We were waiting a bus on a Tuesday morning when we started talking with each other. R told me she got a black jacket from GoodWill for an interview. I had never been to GoodWill before I met R. She told me that GoodWill is a place that people can buy good quality things with low prices. I researched the company immediately. I learned that GoodWill is in a good business model. It collects and sales the donated stuffs to the people who need them in a reasonable price. I think GoodWill is really benefit to both of donator and buyer. For me, I don't need to straggle between keep and throw away my goods. I can always choose to donate them. Helping people to help self.
