Donate Clothes & Household Items
The “Donate Movement” is a call to action powered by Goodwill® focusing on the positive impact donating clothing and household items has on people, our community and the planet. The Donate Movement clearly bridges Goodwill’s mission, vision and values of building stronger families with environmental sustainability.
Donations are valuable to Goodwill and its mission. When people make a financial contribution to a non-profit, they carefully consider where the money will go and how it will be used. Goodwill believes donations of clothing and other household items should be no different.
