What to Donate

Donations are critical to Goodwill’s ability to provide much-needed services to the local community. When deciding what to donate to Goodwill, please take a minute to review the following lists before bringing your items to one of our convenient donation sites. To estimate the value of your donation, please go to http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p561.pdf. Or to see what the items might cost in a Goodwill Store, please visit www.goodwillpromo.org.

Please note that according to the Pension Reform Act of 2006: Donated items must be in good condition in order to claim a deduction, and a qualified appraisal must accompany claims greater than $500. The law does not define "good condition," and the IRS says defining the condition and value of the items is the responsibility of the donor.

To protect your generous donation from vandalism or theft, we ask that you please donate during posted hours.
