GOODWILL NEEDS YOUR DONATIONS!

Goodwill stores in Minnesota accept donations of clothing, accessories, shoes and housewares. We appreciate receiving seasonal donations.

Right now, Goodwill needs donations of adult and children's summer clothing, including sandals, shoes, jeans, shorts, blouses, dresses and shirts. We also need household items, such as dishes, pots and pans, small appliances and electronics and decorative glassware.

Goodwill/Easter Seals Minnesota resells quality donations in our Goodwill stores. Funds raised are reinvested in Minnesota communities.

Donate to Goodwill what you'd give a friend

Goodwill is a member of your community and the money raised through your donations provides employment and other services for your neighbors. If you would not give an item to a friend or a loved one, please do not donate it to Goodwill. Items should be in good condition or better, clean and in usable condition so we can sell in our stores. See the lists on this page for specific items we can and cannot accept.
