Donations are the starting point in the equation of putting people to work.
In 1999, Goodwill Industries received over 425,000 donations of clothing, household items and furniture. At Goodwill, donations of material goods such as gently used clothing, household items and furniture are essential to our ability to put people to work. Revenue generated from the sale of donated items in Goodwill's retail stores provides critical financial support for Goodwill's workforce development programs and services. Goodwill has 26 donation sites conveniently located throughout Mecklenburg, Union, Lincoln, Gaston, and Cleveland Counties in North Carolina and York County in South Carolina. In addition to our attended donation trailers, Goodwill's retail stores also serve as donation drop-off centers.
