Donate to Goodwill
Donations of clothing and household goods are an integral part of Goodwill's success. For ways to make a financial donation or include Goodwill in your estate, please view our Ways to Give web page, where we have outlined the various donation methods. Goodwill now operates 23 stores and 2 attended donation centers in the Central Florida area. Revenue raised from the sale of donated goods in these stores is channeled directly into employment and training programs that help people to work. On average, 90% of every dollar Goodwill spends is for a program-related expense.
Additionally, Goodwill has been GREEN since the day we opened our doors in 1959. We recycle approximately 18 million pounds of unusable donated items allowing us to serve more people in our community. We also rank in the top 12 Goodwill organizations in the world with regards to the efficiency of our operations, and the amount of money we send back into our community through our rehabilitation programs.
Although Goodwill does not have a home pick-up service, you can help us fulfill our mission by shopping or donating to the Goodwill store or attended donation center nearest you.
