From the Paper:

"The local chapter is the Goodwill Industries of the Chesapeake. This chapter is a documented 501(C) (3) not-for-profit agency whose mission is to provide career development, employment, and related social services that aim to assist people with special needs. A 501(c) (3) is a type of corporation that has been recognized by the federal government as an organization whose general purpose is educational, religious or charitable. As is the case of Goodwill, many not-for-profit corporations have extremely large budgets yet still rely on a level of public support over and above the revenues generated. "Since donations typically come by the carload, a ton may just be one ton of an understatement. In order to keep the 12,000-square-foot retail store full, Goodwill Industries depends 100 percent on these donations." "
