Goodwill Manasota’s White Glove Service

At some point in life, Everyone is faced with the question: What do you do with all of the things you've accumulated over the years? You may be a couple, or a widowed survivor, preparing to move from the home in which you raised your children. Or, perhaps you are the adult child of parents who are making such a move or emptying your family's home due to the loss of your loved one(s).So when faced with this question, Goodwill has your answer. WHITE GLOVE SERVICE was developed for people that need to move and either cant, or don't want, to take all of their belongings with them.Goodwill Manasota added this service for our community as they understand you've spent a lifetime collecting possessions, and that the time has come for the difficult decision of letting things go. This service handles the time consuming tasks of packing and taking away what you no longer want or need.We try to make it as painless and easy as possible for our donors, said Donna Evans, Director of White Glove Service. We eliminate the physically labor-intensive job of packing and provide emotional support to the donors.The donor takes what they want to keep for use or memory sake and White Glove Service does the rest.Goodwills White Glove Service is a specialty FREE service for those who are looking to downsize, relocate, or simply wanting to donate the sellable contents of their home. The specially trained staff goes into the home, packs all of the donated items with care and transports everything to Goodwill for resale in their stores. The team is also bonded and insured. When all is completed, the donor receives an itemized tax donation receipt for their tax purposes. People using White Glove Service range from someone selling their second home that is fully furnished to a buyer who buys a furnished home but has their own furnishings, said Evans. We also have Senior clients who are selling their primary residence and downsizing to a retirement home and/or a family disposing of things when selling their deceased relatives home.The money received from the sales of your donations helps Goodwill create jobs and economic success for people with disabilities and other barriers. The donor receives the satisfaction of knowing they're changing lives through the power of work with their valuable donated belongings.If you or a loved one would like to know more about our White Glove Service, please call Donna Evans, Director of White Glove Service, at 941.355.2721, x131 or by email at Donna.Evans@gimi.org.
