Norman Goodwill employee finds $42,000 in donated sweater
What would you do if you found $42,000? Our new Goodwill store associate, Andrea, was in that predicament two weeks ago when she stumbled upon $42,000 in cash wrapped inside a donated sweater! She and other staff let their supervisor know, and turned it in. Also, bundled with the money were identifiable documents that helped us find the owners who mistakenly donated the money with their clothing donation. As a reward they gave Andrea $1,000. With tears in her eyes, Andrea said she plans to use some of that money to give her daughter a wonderful birthday.
“I never expected anything like this to happen to me of all people. To me it was just another normal day at work. I was in the back sorting. I never expected to come across $42,000. I made the right decision, and I did the right thing.”
