Goodwill stores are in urgent need of donations.  Donations are currently not keeping up with the increased need for Goodwill’s employment services, as well as the increased demand for low cost merchandise. Goodwill is asking people to donate clothing, furniture and household items such as dishes, small appliances, books and cookware.   Since Goodwill stores rely heavily on donated items, it is crucial to Goodwill’s mission of helping people train for and find jobs that donations keep coming in.

Donors may drop off items at local Goodwill stores and attended donation centers located at a number of locations throughout the state.  A Goodwill staff person will help the donor unload items and provide a donation receipt for tax purposes.

Proceeds earned by Goodwill stores help the community by supporting programs that help people with disabilities, those who lack education or work experience and other job seekers earn paychecks to support themselves and their families.

Last year Goodwill Industries of Western Connecticut provided services to over 10,000 people. Click Here for a list of donation locations near you or call 1-800-423-9787 for further information.
