Things You Can Donate to Goodwill

Spring has sprung and for many residents, de-cluttering is a big part of the Spring Cleaning task. Purging your unwanted or unnecessary items is a great way to cleanse not only your home, but your soul. But what do you do with all of the excess stuff? Consider donating your items to Goodwill. Goodwill isn't just another Thrift Store; the non-profit has helped hundreds of thousands of people "reach their full potential through education, skills training, and the power of work. Your donations will contribute to this mission! Before you donate, however, be sure to inspect your items for stains or tears, make sure they have all their pieces and parts, and that they are in good working order. While Goodwill will occasionally accept items that don't meet these standards, your items will do the most good if they do. As long as your items are in good condition, Goodwill will accept most household stuff, but you'll want to call ahead for a few things. Check out their guidelines below before dropping off your items: Accepted items: clothing shoes and boots jewelry hats, gloves, mittens and scarves books, records, compact disks, video tapes and DVDs games, toys, and sport equipment dishes, glassware, and kitchen utensils lamps small appliances collectibles, antiques, knickknacks hand tools and small power tools linens, curtains, and blankets stereos, radios, VCRs, DVD players Call before donating: vehicles personal computers computer accessories flat-panel monitor HDTVs dressers, tables, chairs, sofas and bed frames 500 Park
