GOODWILL

Donate at a Goodwill Store or Donation Center

Easy and convenient you can drop off your items at any of our more than 40 plus neighborhood Goodwill Stores and Donation Centers throughout our territory.

Donation Trailer

Reserve a Mobile Donation Trailer

Convenient and Easy!! Goodwill will park one of our mobile donation trailers at your home or office for up to a week at no cost. (This service only available in MONTGOMERY and GREENE counties.)

Drop off is Monday thru Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Fill the trailer with boxes, furniture or other household goods you would like to donate. Goodwill then picks up the trailer and delivers your donations to one of our area stores.

Due to high volume, we are currently scheduling trailers at least 2 weeks from today's date.

Donation Value Guide

If you donate clothing, furniture or household goods to Goodwill, the Internal Revenue Service may allow a deduction (if itemizing your taxes) based on fair market value.

When you drop off your donations at Goodwill, you’ll receive a receipt from a donation attendant. Hang on to this receipt. (Goodwill Stores and Donation Centers do not retain a copy of this receipt.) At the end of the year, you may be eligible for a tax deduction on clothing and household items that are in good?condition.

For any advice regarding your donation in the preparation of your taxes please consult with your TAX ADVISOR.
