Clearing out the closets and making room for the holidays? Give your items a second chance at life by bringing them to our Goodwill Donations Drive and raise money for our school at the same time! By donating your clothing and other items, you stop the landfills from getting bigger and you keep usable material from being thrown in the trash.

We also accept printers, microwaves, vacuums, sellable furniture, small appliances, foreign currency, and baubles.
