- Why can't Goodwill accept certain items?
Goodwill helps change lives through job training and employment services. Your gently used items help make that mission a reality for thousands of people in our own community. The items listed above require transportation or repair that we cannot safely or adequately provide.
- Why can't you take baby items?
Goodwill appreciates you wanting to share your baby items like high chairs, strollers, car seats and cribs, but due to the Consumer Safety Commission Guildelines, we cannot accept these items as they may have been recalled. Goodwill does not want to place any child in danger.
- Will you pick up items from my home?
We're sorry, but we do not offer home pickups due to labor, insurance, and gas costs.
