When decluttering – speed matters.
Now that you’ve decided to spruce up your space and discover new elbow room, you’ve got to move fast. Sorting and clearing out unwanted clothing and household items takes energy. Once you’ve got the momentum going, don’t stop with just piling everything into plastic bags and wondering where to drop them off.
Donate them to Goodwill, where you know they will support the work of a mission-focused, community-based nonprofit organization. When you donate gently used clothing and household items to Goodwill, you’re supporting the first Goodwill in the United States. Founded in 1895, we have helped individuals gain independence through the dignity of work for nearly 130 years.
Why Donate to Goodwill? Seven impressive reasons:
- We are the nation’s first and founding Goodwill – one of the nation’s first social enterprises.
- We’re a nonprofit organization channeling 88 cents of every dollar earned back into programming that transforms lives.
- Your donations fund services that help individuals with barriers to employment find and maintain work.
- We offer full transparency – every year our easy-to-read annual report details our services, number of people served, community relationships, and financial standing.
- We support your local community. Our 15 retail locations provide jobs for nearby residents, as well as access to affordable clothing and household goods.
- Our job training and operations centers in Springfield and Salem reach communities outside Boston, removing barriers of access.
- Goodwill is a women-led business.
Goodwill is authentic. We’re the real deal.
There are many awesome reasons thrifting is hot today: Reuse and resale practices keep more unwanted items out of landfills, slow the drive for fast fashion, and provide an economical way for individuals looking to stretch their budgets to find necessary items at a great value. However, not all thrift stores are the same. While there are more than 30,000 thrift stores in the United States, many are for-profit ventures masquerading as nonprofits, giving only tiny percentages of their earnings to a charity.
At Goodwill, we are among the original reuse-for-mission nonprofits, and this is the foundation of who we are and what we do. When you pack up your gently used clothing and drop it off at a Goodwill, you can be confident it will support individuals in need, every time.
