A Care Tag for Our Planet: Levi’s Care Tags Promote Donating to Goodwill
Goodwill and Levi’s have launched a new initiative nationally, ‘A Care Tag for Our Planet’, designed at diverting billions of pounds of unwanted clothing from landfills. The project was piloted in San Francisco and is the brainchild of BBDO West, Goodwill San Francisco's pro bono strategic branding agency.
Levi’s jeans now feature a care tag that encourages owners to donate to Goodwill when no longer needed. The tags are a unique vehicle for educating consumers about how to care for their clothes responsibly.
Donating to Goodwill not only diverts unwanted items from landfills, but also helps people. Donations of gently used clothing and other items are sold in Goodwill stores, where the revenues help fund job training programs, employment placement services and other community-based programs for people with disabilities, those who lack education or job experience, and those facing other challenges to finding employment.

Thoughts on Haiti
Dear Goodwill Family,
Like many of you, we’ve been watching the heartbreaking reports coming from Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake and its aftershocks centered near the impoverished Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti. In times of major natural disasters, the short-term need is for clean water and medical personnel as well as funds to ensure care can be administered to survivors. Goodwill does not typically provide the kind of help that is needed following this kind of a major natural disaster. Nevertheless, we don’t need to sit by helplessly. There are things that we can do as an organization and individually.
Goodwill Industries of San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin Counties has donated $1,000 to the San Francisco branch of the Red Cross, specifically for Haiti Disaster Relief.
