DONATE TO GOODWILL

 Goodwill stores in Minnesota need your donations of household goods, dishes, clothing, shoes and more. We appreciate your donation of seasonal items, including fall and winter clothes, boots, shoes, Halloween costumes and holiday decorations.

In addition, we invite you to join us in reusing paper and plastic shopping bags by donating them at the donation center or drop them off at the register inside the store. 

All donations are sold locally and funds raised support Goodwill/Easter Seals Minnesota's mission to assist people with barriers in achieving their goals for education, employment and independence.
