Marie Kondo may be a boon to the resale industry
The release of the hit Netflix show “Tidying Up With Marie Kondo” has offered an unexpected boost to thrift stores this year. Kondo encourages viewers across the U.S. to part with the personal effects that fail to “spark joy.” Goodwill Industries is attributing at least some of a 10 to 20 percent increase in donations to its stores this year to the release of the show’s first series.
If you’re a member of your local public radio station, we thank you — because your support helps those stations keep programs like Marketplace on the air. But for Marketplace to continue to grow, we need additional investment from those who care most about what we do: superfans like you.
Your donation — as little as $5 — helps us create more content that matters to you and your community, and to reach more people where they are – whether that’s radio, podcasts or online.
When you contribute directly to Marketplace, you become a partner in that mission: someone who understands that when we all get smarter, everybody wins.
