DONATE

FINANCIAL DONATIONS

For Goodness Sake depends on financial donations to be able to help families and individuals who are making the transition to independent living. We are run 100% by volunteers, so you can be sure that donated money will directly impact our clients.

For additional ways to donate or to discuss holding a fundraiser to benefit FGS, send an email to info@forgoodnessake.org.

A super easy way to help!

If you buy from Amazon, go to smile.amazon.com and choose For Goodness Sake as your charity. Amazon will make a donation to us every time you buy something on smile.amazon.com.
