Out with the old and in with the new….but not so fast! As we look forward to 2015 we thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of our most popular blog articles from the past year. We’ve covered everything from helping others through clothing donations to the amazing wealth of business solutions Horizon Goodwill offers to local employers. It was also a very fascinating experience watching how one man learned first hand everything Goodwill Industries does on a daily basis to help local communities. We must admit, however, we were totally shocked by what article came in at Number One! Curious?
