When you host a donation drive at one of our locations and drop off your unneeded clothing, shoes, housewares, and other items, you will raise money per pound of donations. Not only do you have the chance to earn more, the retail store hosts the donation drive for you, making it quick, easy, efficient, and a win-win for everyone!

All Goodwill location drives are scheduled on Saturdays from 10 AM to 2 PM; 2 PM to 6 PM. However, availability is limited. To book your event, simply fill out the form on this page.

Tips for a Successful Donation Drive

Start collecting items before the event. Pre-collection is KEY.

Pass out flyers to everyone you know and distribute them at homes and businesses throughout the community.

Post event details on your organization’s website and social media.

Organize a pickup for items from those who cannot bring them to your drive.

**Donated items must be in good, clean, sellable condition. We do not repair, refinish, or reupholster.

When you host an on-site donation drive and collect unneeded clothing, shoes, housewares, and more, you will raise money per pound of donations for your group or non-profit organization. It’s that easy! No need to sell anything, just clean out your closets. Donation drives are held on a Saturday at your location for a duration of two hours. By hosting a weekend drive, you may be able to collect more items (including furniture), and you can also involve the surrounding community.
