Your donations help individuals with disabilities or other barriers enhance their lives, strengthen your community, and preserve the planet.

All of Goodwill’s retail stores and donation centers will gladly accept your gently used goods. See below for items we can and cannot accept:

Clothing
All clothing and outerwear need to be clean and free of stains, tears, pet hairs, and odor. We are happy to accept everything from vintage clothing to new items. If you have clothing to donate, Goodwill is the place for you!

Clothing Accessories
We accept new and old accessories as long as they are in good condition. Common items donated include: shoes, belts, handbags, briefcases, hats, gloves, scarves, times, and jewelry.

Linens and Textiles
A very common question is, “Does Goodwill take pillows?” The answer is yes, if they are in good condition (no rips or stains).

We welcome clean and stain-free linen and textiles including:

  • Bedspreads, blankets, sheets, and towels.
  • Curtains and draperies.
  • Area and throw rugs.

Used electronics is another popular category and we’re pleased to accept any items that are not too big, are functioning and include all necessary parts for the item to work. This includes cords and cables.

Here are some specific electronic items that are common donation items:

  • Radios, stereo systems, mp3 players, VCRs, and DVD players.
  • Goodwill supports the donation of small appliances such as toaster ovens, coffee makers, vacuum cleaners, and portable air conditioners.
  • Microwave ovens in acceptable condition.

Art and Antiques
Art and antiques are among the most popular items for our customers, so we’re always on the lookout for new stock. We welcome mass-produced items, signed art pieces, and collectibles of any kind including books, magazines, and comic books.

Furniture
We welcome furniture that is clean and in good, sellable condition. Furniture should be free of pet hair and not ripped, soiled, or torn.

Books, Video Games, DVDs and More
At any Goodwill store or our online store, you will find a range of entertainment at bargain prices. If you have items collecting dust, we would love for you to contribute to our mission by donating these items.

Computers and Software
When it comes to computer equipment, we welcome computer accessories including keyboards, mice, and printers. We are unable to accept monitors, hard drives, laptops, tables, software programs, or desktop PCs.

Sport and Exercise Equipment
Does Goodwill accept treadmills? You bet we do! We welcome all kinds of sporting and exercise equipment, as long as they are not damaged and unable to function as intended.

We welcome donations of bicycles, golf clubs, tennis racquets, bowling balls, etc.; and treadmills, stationary bikes, ab rollers, free weights, etc.

Toys
Toy donations are incredibly valuable because a lot of children rely on the affordable toys provided at our stores. A toy donation will make a child somewhere very happy as well as helping single mothers, young parents, and families struggling to make ends meet.

We accept toys for babies through teens including dolls, stuffed animals, sealed games and puzzles.

Vehicles
While we typically do not take on large items, we have an exception for vehicles. The owner must present a title or proof of ownership as required by law. Donating is quick and easy. We offer pickup and towing – for free – at a time and place convenient for you. We handle all the paperwork to make your donation as simple as possible.
