The Golden Goose received the Legacy award from the Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce! On Aug. 13, Larry Clark and our own Stephanie Urdiales stepped up to the podium to receive this prestigious award. What a day, and what an organization!
The story of the Golden Goose is an amazing “Cinderella” story: It’s a story of an organization that, in 20 years, has gone from a rummage sale and a handful of volunteers working with a borrowed pickup truck, to an organization with seven employees and many volunteers working out of a beautiful 18,000–square–foot building and serving multiple local communities. Before we slip one of those webbed feet into that glass slipper, note that the Goose has a continuing need for new volunteers to effectively run and continue to grow this charitable business! Schedules and assignments are flexible, and snowbirds are always welcome to volunteer for the months they are in town.

Ever wonder why the Goose logo includes two eggs? Each egg represents one of the two original, founding, charitable organizations that benefit from the revenue generated by Golden Goose. Volunteers from SaddleBrooke Community Outreach (SBCO) and IMPACT of Southern Arizona recognized they had a lot in common and could both benefit from the sale of donated items to help their organizations assist the underserved children, seniors, and families within our local communities. The Goose was created to share its profits equally between these two organizations and, to this day, the Golden Goose Board of Directors is made up of five voting members and one member representative from each organization. Shop, donate, and volunteer to continue to make the Goose what it is. A sincere thanks to the Oro Valley Chamber for recognizing the amazing contributions of the Goose employees, volunteers, and donors!
