The holidays are right around the corner, bringing a schedule packed with guests, good food and plenty of preparation. Give yourself the gift of a clear mind before the festivities, and start the new year feeling organized by decluttering and donating to Goodwill Industries of the Valleys.
When you donate clothing, toys, books or household items, you’re giving back in two important ways.
- You create more space and less stress at home.
- Your donated items support Goodwill’s local job training, skill-building, and employment services that help people move forward in their careers.
It’s a small step with a big community impact.
A Simple Way to Declutter Before Guests Arrive
Whether you are making room for winter clothing or clearing out items that no longer spark joy, Goodwill makes it easy to donate sustainably. With more than 50 locations to receive your donations, from stores and donation centers to drop-off boxes throughout Southwest, Southside and Central Virginia, it’s easy to find a store or donation center near you.
This simple sustainability effort contributes to more than 13 million pounds of goods that are kept out of local landfills each year. With Goodwill’s commitment to sustainability, you know that your unused items continue to have value – whether they’re recirculated back into the community or recycled sustainably.
Ways to Give This Season
You can support Goodwill and the programs that provide life-changing support in the community in whatever way suits you best. By donating goods to your local Goodwill store or donation center, you are supporting the thrift stores that power our mission. We also accept online donations in support of our job and skills training. For companies that offer matching gift programs, your impact can go further!
It’s not too late to help your items find a second life at your local Goodwill. Find your closest store or donation center easily online and give your neighbors a new opportunity to find this good this season.
