To give you some donation inspiration, here are some of the top things to donate to Goodwill this spring:
Kids’ coats and jackets from Goodwill
Donate winter coats
Warmer weather is here, so go ahead and shed those winter coats! While you’re at it, look through your closets for any jackets and outerwear you don’t want or need anymore and add them to your donation pile. Goodwill gladly accepts coats at any time of year!
Donate last year’s clothing
The past year threw us all a curveball, so it’s understandable if you have outfits in your closet that you no longer want or need””even if you barely had a chance to wear them! Remember that it’s natural for our bodies to change year to year, which can make our clothes fit differently.
Clothing Rack at Goodwill
Luckily, you don’t have to let your perfectly good clothes go to waste. You can give them a new life by donating them to Goodwill! Someone else is sure to love your gently-used (or even new-with-tags) clothes, and you can make room in your closet for pieces that fit you and your style.
Bee Halloween Costumes from Goodwill
Donate Halloween costumes
Halloween costumes can hold a lot of memories, which is why many families keep old costumes in storage. But if you’re not going to use a costume again, it’s only taking up space! By donating your family’s old costumes to Goodwill, you can help other families in your community have the opportunity to dress up for Halloween. Goodwill accepts Halloween costumes any time of the year, so it’s always a good time to clean out your collection.

Goodwill is well-known for accepting clothing donations, but you can also donate other items from around your home. Spring is a perfect opportunity to give your interior design a refresh and donate any home décor you no longer want. Everything from wall art to books, mirrors, frames, and glassware can be donated to Goodwill!
