Where Can I Donate?
Please be aware that our donation centers close occasionally throughout the day for processing, so we recommend calling the store ahead of time when you plan to donate.
Retail Stores
Donate when and where it’s convenient for you at one of our 28 main retail stores. They accept household items and apparel seven days a week. Hours and types of items accepted vary by location – find your nearest donation location below.
Donation Bins
Drop in a bin and go is the quickest way to donate your goods. We maintain a bin with our partner Cheney Stadium in Tacoma which is open five days a week. Want to place a bin on your property and collect items for Goodwill? Contact us to learn more.
Pay for Pick-Up
We have partnered with ReSupply to offer priority pick-up services. ReSupply is a veteran-owned and operated service that picks up and delivers your donations to Goodwill for a fee. Although we do not accept furniture, ReSupply can pick up furniture and it will be donated to another nonprofit in ReSupply’s network.
What Does Goodwill Do With My Donations?
You donations are turned into job training, placement and support services. Funds generated from the sale of your donations provide FREE training in the greater Tacoma area, along with training facilities in Longview and Yakima. Goodwill offers 20+ programs that help people with barriers to employment reach their fullest potential and obtain a living-wage job. Your donations make a difference!
What Can I Donate?
We accept many household goods and textiles that are in good working or sellable condition. There are things we cannot accept due to damage, recalls, safety and other circ*mstances, so we created an easy-to-read reference guide below to answer all of your donation questions.
