• What items will be accepted?

  Your closet, cupboards and storage unit are more powerful than you think. When others see “stuff,” Goodwill sees a brighter future for someone right in our community. We enthusiastically accept clothing, housewares, electronics (working or not), and so much more – and turn all that “stuff” into funding for our local mission programming. Plus, keeping your clothing and housewares out of landfills by donating to Goodwill is good for the environment!

• What does the winning school receive?

  Each week a winning school will receive a $250 donation which can be used at the school’s discretion.

• What will the donations be used for?

  Goodwill Industries of Greater Cleveland and East Central Ohio operates a network of 23 retail stores where donated goods are sold. Funds from those stores support a wide network of community programs including employment training for people with disabilities and other barriers to employment, family strengthening programs for those in crisis, and rape crisis services for victims of sexual assault in our community. The 104-year old non-profit depends entirely on the generosity of the community to supply its stores and, in turn, fund its programs. Last year alone, more than 14,000 people were served in the community by Goodwill programs.
