ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Millions of
people are out of work due to COVID-19. As the holiday season
begins, people can help those who have lost their jobs and are
looking for employment by supporting Goodwill® using the
Microsoft Bing search engine. Give with Bing is an extension of
Microsoft Rewards, which lets you earn points simply by searching
on Bing.com. Give with Bing lets you automatically donate your
points to philanthropic causes you care about.
From now through December 31,
2020, Microsoft will match the Microsoft Rewards points you
donate to more than 1.4 million participating nonprofit
organizations during the Give with Bing Fall Campaign. Goodwill
Industries International is proud to be a featured cause on Give
with Bing and will be highlighted on the homepage on Sunday, November 1.
To get started, join Microsoft Rewards and select Goodwill
Industries International or your local Goodwill organization on the
platform. Sign in to your Microsoft account and turn on Give with
Bing, so you can earn points while searching on Bing.com. Your
earned points will be automatically donated to Goodwill Industries
International to support job placement and training for people in
local communities.
"Goodwill transforms lives through the power of work by helping
people build their careers, by providing job training, preparation
and placement services, and by delivering skills training both in
person and virtually to people looking for work," said Steven C. Preston, president and CEO of Goodwill
Industries International. "Millions of people use Goodwill each
year to get the training they need to re-enter the workforce and
care for their families."
In these unprecedented times, giving back to our local
communities is made easy through Give with Bing. Give with Bing
users have donated Microsoft Rewards points valued at more than
$1 million for participating
nonprofit organizations. Start searching today and create positive
change with Give with Bing. If you're already a member, log in to
