To donate to Goodwill, you can drop off gently used clothing, shoes, jewelry, accessories, household goods, and other items at any Goodwill store or donation center. Many locations have staffed DonationXpress centers to make the process quick and easy, and they provide tax receipts for your donations. Goodwill also accepts vehicles in any condition with a clear title, and arrangements can often be made for free pickup and towing. You can find bins for donations at some locations or participate in donation drives organized by groups such as schools or businesses. Some Goodwill regions offer scheduled pickup services for larger items or if you're unable to drop items off yourself. It is important to donate items that are in good, clean condition and to verify if specialty items like furniture or electronics are accepted at your local Goodwill. Donating items helps create jobs and fund Goodwill's mission of providing job training and employment services to those in need. You can also contribute financially or volunteer to support the cause. Summary of how to donate:
- Drop off gently used goods at Goodwill stores or donation centers.
- Use staffed donation centers for assistance and tax receipts.
- Schedule pickups for large items in some areas.
- Donate vehicles with clear titles, often with free pickup.
- Avoid donating unsafe or non-accepted items (e.g., hazardous materials, recalled products).
This process supports Goodwill programs and helps people in your community find employment.
