Donating Goods

Donate Your Goods to a Goodwill Store

During regular store hours, pull up to our designated donation door and someone will assist you with unloading and provide you with a tax receipt. Our Newton location features a 24-hour drop box for small, non-fragile items, perfect for a bag of clothes. Please do not leave donations outside the building after hours due to the potential for damage or theft.

  • Can I claim my donation on taxes?

    Goodwill Industries is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, which means that you can deduct the fair market value of all material donations you make to us from your federal income taxes. It is up to you to assign a value to your donations. Fair market value is considered to be the price a willing, informed buyer would pay for an item.

    For more information, the government publishes regulations regarding charitable contributions and determining the fair market value of property. See IRS Publication 561 in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. For your convenience, click here for a value range of commonly donated Goodwill items.

    Goodwill works with businesses that conduct estate sales to pick-up donations following a sale. Contact Chris to learn more about this service.

    Please do not leave donations outside the building after hours due to the potential for damage or theft. Two locations feature a 24-hour drop box for small, non-fragile items, perfect for a bag of clothes (47th & Broadway, in Wichita, and Newton locations).
