Kristen McAtee, the Vlog Squadder and current contender in Kian Lawley and JC Caylen’s Reality House, has partnered up with Goodwill to fete National Thrift Shop Day — an unofficial holiday designed to encourage the practice of thrifting.
In a haul video premiering tomorrow — a popular YouTube format in which creators showcase recent purchases — McAtee will share that 87 cents from every dollar spent at Goodwill is re-invested into local communities. (Goodwill is a nonprofit that provides job placement and training services — including child care, financial education, free tax preparation, transportation, and career mentoring — by selling donated clothing and household items in more than 3,300 storefronts across North America).
Goodwill linked up with McAtee (who counts 1.2 million YouTube subscribers) through The Ad Council — a nonprofit that creates public service ads to champion various social causes. The Ad Council launched its Creators For Good initiative in 2015, to harness the power of social influencers.
