Goodwill and Capitol Federal Donate 1000+ Books to United Way of the Plains WICHITA, KAN. — Powerhouse organizations will come together as Goodwill Industries of Kansas will join Capitol Federal to deliver over 1000 new or gently used children’s books to United Way of the Plains. This donation is a culmination of efforts by these organizations to inspire children to become lifelong learners.
“When you have an opportunity to partner with organizations like The United Way and Capitol Federal to amplify reach and impact, you lean into it and put your capabilities to use,” said Laura Ritterbush, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Kansas. “In this case, we collected books through our 18 retail stores for this particular drive,” she continued.
The United Way of the Plains will distribute the books to nonprofits that work with children through their Give Items of Value Program.
