Donations that jingle and fold are critical for organizations like GOSO. But just as important is the donation of goods and services which contribute to our guys’ path to re-entry success! This season — and all year long — we hope you’ll consider a donation of dress socks (for the guy on his way to his first job interview!) or a donation of time at one of our workshops. There are so many ways to give to GOSO. Thank you!
