What Items Does Goodwill Accept for Donation?
When you pull into a Horizon Goodwill Industries donation center with your gently used clothing and household items, you are giving those items a second chance. Items sold in our stores become newfound treasures for Goodwill shoppers. Through the donation cycle, items find new purpose. A donated lamp can help light someone’s way and a pair of unwanted gloves can give someone a helping hand.
Of every dollar generated by Horizon Goodwill Industries, an average of 90 cents goes into job training programs for our clientele to become gainfully employed and contributing members of society. There are currently 16 retail stores in the four-state area with two additional stores planned. We’ll gladly accept your donations at any of our stores, the attended donation center in Hagerstown, or by home pick-up (restrictions apply) and give you a receipt for tax purposes. To help make your donation a smooth and easy process, here is a list of clean, usable items we currently accept. [Read more…] about What Items Does Goodwill Accept for Donation?
