Donations - East Peoria, IL - Goodwill of Central IL

Donations Aid Your Community

Donating to your local East Peoria, IL Goodwill is an excellent way to clear away your gently-used clothes, homewares and other items. Goodwill Industries of Central Illinois has eleven stores and two donation centers throughout the region. Almost anything you have can be donated: your clothing, kitchen appliances, shoes, even your old car!

Aside from just opening up space in your attic or garage, donating to Goodwill has a real-world impact on your community! The items you donate are sold back to local consumers, and a percentage of the profits are used to fund community outreach programs. Then once income tax season comes around, your donations are eligible for an income tax deduction! Donating to Goodwill is an excellent way to help you and your neighbors!
