Celebrate Earth Month with Goodwill by sharing how you reuse, repurpose, and shop secondhand for a chance to win sustainability-themed prizes.

This Earth Month, we're celebrating the creativity, resourcefulness and everyday choices that make a difference. From secondhand finds to simple reuse ideas, small actions can have a big impact — and we want to see yours.

Join our Earth Month Photo Challenge on Facebook and share how you give items a second life for a chance to win weekly prizes and be entered into our grand prize drawing.

How It Works

Each week in April, we'll post a new photo prompt on our Facebook page. To participate, simply:

  • Take a photo inspired by the weekly theme
  • Comment your photo on the challenge post
  • Come back each week to join in again

Every entry counts — so the more you join in, the more chances you have to win.

Weekly Earth Month Themes

We'll keep things simple and creative. Prompts may include:

  • Everyday reuse ideas
  • Secondhand style or home finds
  • Creative ways to repurpose items
  • Your favorite thrifted treasures

There is no need for perfection. We're looking for real-life inspiration.

Prizes

  • Weekly winners selected by random drawing
  • All entries throughout the contest are included in the grand prize drawing

Prizes include sustainability-themed items such as reusable bags and eco-friendly dinnerware.
