Donate Goods. Create Opportunity.

Your gently used items help fund education, employment, and support services across our tristate community.

Thank you for choosing to donate locally and support the Cycle of Good.

More Than a Donation

When you donate goods to Evansville Goodwill, you’re doing more than clearing space at home.

Your items are given a second life through resale, reuse, or responsible recycling. The revenue generated stays local and helps fund adult education, job training, and employment services for people in our community.

This is how everyday generosity becomes lasting opportunity.

A Quick Note on Safety

To ensure the safety of our team members and community, there are only two items we’re unable to accept:

Mattresses
Require specialized handling beyond our capabilities.
Household chemicals
Including paint, cleaners, and hazardous materials.

These items require specialized handling beyond our capabilities. Everything else helps fuel the Cycle of Good. Thank you for understanding and for donating thoughtfully.

Donating With the Planet in Mind

Donating goods is one of the most sustainable choices you can make.

By extending the life of usable items, you help reduce waste, conserve resources, and keep materials out of landfills. Sustainability is built into how we operate and into every step of the Cycle of Good.

Electronics & E-Waste Recycling

Evansville Goodwill is proudly part of Dell Reconnect, a national program that helps responsibly recycle unwanted electronics.

Through this partnership, donated electronics are refurbished for reuse when possible or recycled safely and responsibly, protecting the environment while supporting job training and community programs.

Your old technology can still do a lot of good.
