Meet Our Newest Community Collaborators

From fashion stylists and DIY makers to home décor enthusiasts and lifestyle creators, meet the eight new voices helping inspire secondhand shopping and share Goodwill's mission through the remainder of the year.

There's no one way to tell a secondhand story—and that's exactly what makes our Community Collaborator program so special.

After receiving an incredible response from creators across our region, we're excited to welcome eight new Community Collaborators who will partner with Goodwill through the remainder of the year.

This newest group brings together a wide range of interests, perspectives and creative styles. From fashion-forward outfit inspiration and DIY transformations to cozy home décor, motherhood, sustainability and everyday lifestyle content, each creator offers their own unique take on discovering the possibilities of secondhand.

Over the coming months, they'll be sharing their favorite Goodwill finds, styling ideas, DIY projects and thrift adventures while inspiring others to shop secondhand, express their personal style and discover the creativity waiting on every shelf.
