Do Good With Goodwill
Not charity, but a chance.
At Goodwill, we are committed to strengthening dignity and enhancing the quality of life for individuals and families across Northwest Ohio through the Power of Work. By breaking down barriers and creating meaningful opportunities, we help people build pathways to brighter, more independent futures.
Every item you donate fuels real change in our community. The revenue generated from the sale of donated goods directly supports the Mission Services that empower individuals right here in Northwest Ohio.
When you give to Goodwill, you’re doing more than clearing out your closet—you’re investing in the success, stability, and growth of your neighbors.
Ways to Donate
Host a Do Good Donation Bin
As a property owner, you have the opportunity to support Goodwill’s mission by placing a Do Good bin on your property.
By supporting Goodwill through the placement of Do Good bins on your property, you can help us provide job training and placement services to individuals in NW Ohio and promote sustainability by reselling donated goods.
Host a Donation Drive
Goodwill donation drives are excellent service projects for businesses, schools, and other community organizations.
Donation drives are a way to give back to the community while clearing out the clutter and keeping items out of landfills. Funds from the sale of your donated items help Goodwill in its mission building dignity and quality of life for individuals and families..
Host a Corporate
Donation Drive
Donation drives create opportunities to engage employees, while fostering social and environmental stewardship.
Company sponsored donation drives are a great way to get employees energized and united about giving back to a great cause. Goodwill’s Donation Acquisition Manager will work with you to help organize your event.
MISSION MOMENT
Carl’s Journey to Purpose
Carl came to Goodwill’s OOD Bridge Support Training Program seeking guidance to achieve his career goals. With our team’s help, he enrolled in required classes, explored certification pathways, and prepared for the next steps in his professional journey. Today, Carl is thriving as a Peer Support Specialist at Blanchard Valley Health System, where he empowers individuals in recovery by helping them identify strengths, build personalized plans, and connect with vital resources.
Carl calls this work his true calling and is deeply grateful for the support he received through Goodwill. His journey doesn’t stop here—he has an upcoming interview with Focus’s Peer Advisory Board and plans to enroll at Owens Community College to pursue credentials as a Chemical Dependency Counseling Aide. Carl’s story is a powerful reminder of what determination and community support can achieve.
