There are several different ways to Donate to Goodwill:


1. Donations of Household Goods:

We accept gently used clothing, household wares and linens, furniture and small appliances for resale in our stores. Proceeds from the sale of these goods help support our work in providing employment training and finding people jobs.

For safety and practical reasons, we cannot accept donations of non- functioning electrical goods; used mattresses; sofa beds; large appliances; computers; televisions;  microwaves;  pianos; furniture that is broken, stained or torn; tires or other car parts; propane tanks; building and construction material; and paints. These goods are not saleable through our stores and are extremely costly to dispose of.
