Donate for Good

Your donations make a big difference to neighbors in need

Your Donated Items Matter a Lot!

We gratefully accept your used items at our convenient and easy Goodwill Northern Michigan donation centers. We sell items in our thrift stores and online to fund our housing and food community programs. We also salvage items that we can’t sell to maximize the value of all donations we receive. Last year, we diverted 4,254,480 pounds of goods from landfills.

We follow covid procedures to keep our donors, shoppers and employees safe. Read about our safety policies.

Every time you donate, we thank you with a coupon valid for 10% off a single purchase at any of our thrift stores.
