When I print my receipt, the description of my donations and the estimated value is not on my receipt. How can I get that?

Toward the end of the year, the Donation Tracker will allow you to get a year-end summary of your donations. If you’d like a year-to-date list of your donations, you can print them from the “My Donations” tab. Just print the “My Donations” page by right-clicking on the screen and choosing the “print” option.

Comcast

If you have enabled Comcast's spam filtering, it can mistakenly block messages you want to receive, such as e-mails from Goodwill. In fact, messages that Comcast identifies as spam are automatically deleted unless you choose the "Keep a Local Copy" option. This option creates a Webmail folder titled "Screened Mail," where all the pieces of suspected spam are placed. To turn on the Screened Mail option:
  1. Sign in to Comcast Webmail and select "E-mail Options" from the menu on the left.
  2. Select "Spam Filter" from the "Mail Options" window.
  3. Click "Edit/View Spam Filters" from the "Comcast E-mail Settings" list.
  4. Select "Yes" to "Enable Spam Filtering."
  5. To keep a copy of each message the spam filter removed from your inbox, select "Yes" to "Keep Local Copy." This moves each spam e-mail to the "Screened Mail" folder.
  6. Click "Update" to enable spam filtering.
  7. Note that the Screened Mail folder is created the first time you receive a piece of spam, not as soon as you enable the Screened Mail option.
If you find that our e-mails are incorrectly identified and filtered as spam, please forward one of our filtered e-mails to Comcast at this-is-not-spam@comcast.net Although this will not immediately guarantee you will receive our e-mails in your inbox, it will help Comcast improve their filtering technology.

Cox

If you have activated Cox's Spam Blocker, you may have configured this service to "Delete incoming junk e-mail." This setting deletes suspected spam e-mails before you ever see them. Unfortunately, sometimes e-mails you want to receive, such as those from Goodwill, may be deleted mistakenly in the process. To prevent this, select the "Label Junk E-mail as Spam" option through your account's Member Services. This setting will deliver all e-mail to your inbox, but messages that are suspected of being spam will include "spam" in the subject line of the e-mail. If Spam Blocker identifies our Goodwill e-mails as spam, please submit this "false positive" to Cox at ThisIsNotSpam@cox.net. Although this will not immediately guarantee you will receive our e-mails in your inbox, it will help Cox improve their filtering technology.
