We believe that this positive change is a winning arrangement for New Directions, Goodwill Columbus, our clients and the Central Ohio community. For full details, see the attached document. Goodwill Columbus will accept referrals of clients from area social services agencies that have referred clients to the New Directions Clothing Closet for free clothing. Clients must have a referral form from their agency to receive free business clothing. We wish to thank you and the thousands of individuals, businesses, churches, and other organizations who have donated clothing or sponsored clothing drives to support the New Directions Clothing Closet in the past. We are proud of this new arrangement with Goodwill Columbus, and we strongly encourage you to redirect your clothing donations to Goodwill Columbus to continue supporting those we serve.
