How Big W did Good with Excess Goods | #16
In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Alison Covington of Good360, a matchmaker helping to repurpose items of value by directing them to Australians most in need. Alison shares how retailers such as Big W, Harvey Norman and Lego have partnered with Good360 to make valuable contributions to their communities. We hear how it works, the success stories and the benefits for retailers. In a year full of bushfires, floods and Covid19, this conversation is a timely reminder that acts of giving are good for us all.
