FOX6 News Digital Team

MILWAUKEE - Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin and Metropolitan Chicago and its partners, the Milwaukee Brewers and Aurora Health Care, will host a donation drive at American Family Field on Saturday, April 20. The drive will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Community members who donate at the drive will receive a free pair of Brewers tickets, one pair per car, while supplies last.

Donations are sold at Goodwill Store & Donation Centers, outlets and online to be purchased secondhand, keeping items out of the landfill and decreasing the demand for new goods through the reuse, repair, upcycle, and repurpose of items.

According to a news release, donation purchases support Goodwill programs that help people build job skills, find employment and connect to community resources and services. In 2023, Goodwill supported more than 50,000 people across Wisconsin and Illinois through employment, programs and services.
