The seven-employee operation sealed an agreement yesterday to merge with Goodwill Columbus, the area's sixth-largest social-service organization.

The move reflects a trend locally and nationally, as small nonprofit groups -- the local hardware stores of the charitable sector -- struggle in the competition for money."
