FORT MYERS, Fla. - Floridant -- Students of all ages can visit Goodwill stores in Southwest Florida for their back-to-school needs. Whether it's clothing, shoes, accessories, housewares or furniture, Goodwill is your one-stop shop for back-to-school items, college dorm essentials and unique secondhand finds.

Goodwill stores in Southwest Florida sell donated goods and one-of-a-kind finds for shoppers to choose from to express their unique style, all while staying on a budget and supporting the environment.

Increasingly, younger generations are more concerned about the environmental impact of their purchases. Buying your annual school supplies secondhand continues the lifecycle of those items and keeps them from ending up in landfills. For those concerned about the rising prices of school supplies, Goodwill stores also offer a cheaper alternative to other retail stores.

Goodwill is hosting a Back-to-School event from July 19 – 21^st at select Goodwill stores. A large collection of school uniforms, backpacks, lunch bags and sneakers will be set out in front of these stores to make it easy for parents to find what they need for this school year.
