Donations - Galesburg, IL - Goodwill of Central IL

A Way to Help Your Community!

When you need to clear space in your attic or garage, don’t just give the clothes away or set up a garage sale. Consider a charitable donation to your local Galesburg, IL Goodwill! 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!

The best reason to donate to Goodwill is that it benefits you and your local community. Your donated items are resold to the community, and the profits help fund outreach programs and services! Then once income tax season comes around, your donations are eligible for a tax deduction!
