PRESS RELEASE: http://www.goodwill.org/press-releases/goodwill-and-uber-team-up-for-nationwide-mobile-donation-campaign/
SUMMARY:
On April 30th,
2015 Goodwill and Uber announced that they would be teaming up on May 2nd
to help people donate their clothes to Goodwill. On this date, Uber users across 50 states
could open their Uber app, click “GIVE” and an Uber driver would come to their
house, pick up their donated clothes, and bring them to a local Goodwill free
of charge. Revenues from the event would be donated to fund job placement and
employment programs for local communities. Uber promoted the one day event with
the social hashtag #UberSpringCleaning, Goodwill however did not develop their
own hashtag. The story was primarily picked up by local news outlets (CBS, NBC,
ABC, etc) as well as coverage by online publications such as Refinery 29,
Huffington Post, and USA Today.
