Goodwill
Funds job training and employment placement programs through donated goods and community services.
Not every Leesville property is worth the effort of a sale. An aging rental, a vacant lot, or an inherited house can cost more to carry and clean up than it returns at closing. Donating it to a qualified charity ends the expense and creates a charitable deduction in its place.
