OMX Officemax Incorporated

In the spirit of helping people reach their full potential, OfficeMax� (NYSE:OMX), a leading provider of office equipment and services, is teaming up with Goodwill Industries� for the second OfficeMax Great Chair Trade Up Event, taking place in all stores nationwide June 10-16, 2007. OfficeMax customers that bring a gently-used office chair to their local OfficeMax store during the event will receive a 10-percent discount on a new office-chair purchase. OfficeMax will donate all usable chairs to Goodwill for resale, helping Goodwill fund career services for people with disabilities and vocational disadvantages in local communities. �The office chair is very representative of the person and their business � it is literally their platform for fostering new ideas and building their business,� said Ryan Vero, executive vice president and chief merchandise officer for OfficeMax. �This trade-up event gives our customers the opportunity to upgrade their office chairs, and while doing so, also help less fortunate individuals in their communities chart a new life course and set their career aspirations in motion.� All chairs collected through the OfficeMax Great Chair Trade Up event will be donated to Goodwill Industries and will help the local individuals on their path to self-sufficiency. �Every donation to Goodwill is an investment in the economic health of your community,� says Doug Barr, president and CEO of Goodwill Southern California (GSC). �At Goodwill, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to earn a paycheck and support themselves and their families.� When someone is having a hard time finding a job � either because of a disability, poverty, lack of education and work experience or another obstacle � Goodwill is there to help.�The organization does this by selling donations of clothing and household items in Goodwill stores and using the revenue to fund job training programs that benefit hundreds of thousands of people each year.�It also offers an assembly and fulfillment, computer recycling, custodial and building as well as secure shredding services to businesses in its service area.
