Donate Food

Community Partnerships are very important to Goodwill. As part of our strategic plan, we have made a commitment to extend service delivery for populations in need by providing upskilling and wrap around services. One way we are fulfilling this commitment is by collaborating with local organizations and food pantries to collect donations of canned food items, non-perishable foods, and pantry items.

When you donate to Goodwill, you’re doing more than clearing out your home – you’re helping your neighbors build brighter futures while keeping usable items out of local landfills.

Every donation stays local and helps fund employment services, youth programs, housing support, career training and other services that help people build brighter futures throughout Marion, Delaware, Union, Crawford and Morrow counties. That’s how Good Happens Here.

We accept most gently used clothes and household items. Learn more about what we do and do not accept, and where you can donate:
