Fort Worth, Texas (July 25, 2015) — Goodwill North Central Texas announced today that the company will now offer a donation home pickup service, GOODtoGO, for certain areas of Northeast Tarrant County, including Grapevine, Colleyville, Southlake and Keller.

“We are thrilled to roll out GOODtoGO,” said David Cox, president and CEO of Goodwill North Central Texas. “Life gets busy and we understand that it can be a hassle to haul your gently used goods across town to drop them off at a donation station.
