Host a Drive

Host a Donations Drive!

A clothing donations drive at your office or organization is a great way to involve your employees or members in a meaningful cause, promote team spirit, and demonstrate your organization’s commitment to the community. Plus, it’s easy!

  • It’s only for two weeks, and you choose the dates that work best for you.
  • We supply everything you need, including an outreach template to help you announce the drive, an attractive container to receive the donations, and tax receipts.
  • It’s low maintenance. We drop off the donation bins and pick up the items and bins afterwards.
  • Your donation directly supports Goodwill’s employment programs and helps keep the environment clean and green.
