Host a Drive
Donate Goods to Help People In Our Community
Hosting a Goodwill donation drive is a simple yet powerful way to give back! Whether you're a workplace, school, club, church, or organization, organizing a drive helps individuals in our community overcome life's challenges. By collecting gently used clothing, household items, and more, you’re not just keeping items out of landfills—you’re fueling Goodwill’s mission to empower people through the power of work and skill training. Plus, donation drives are a great way to engage your group in a meaningful cause while fostering teamwork and social responsibility!
Host a Workplace Drive & Earn a Treat
Hosting a workplace donation drive is a fun and impactful way to engage your team while supporting a great cause! Encourage employees to bring in gently used clothing, household items, and more—all of which help fund job training and employment programs in our community.
As an extra incentive, workplaces that collect enough donations will win a pizza, ice cream, or donut party to celebrate their generosity! It’s a great way to foster teamwork, boost morale, and make a real difference—all while enjoying a sweet or savory reward.
Win Money for Your School, Club, Church, or Organization!

What to Expect
Hosting a donation drive is simple and stress-free! Each drive runs between 5-14 days (Monday–Friday or Monday–Monday), but we can schedule a longer timeframe if needed. Here’s what you can expect:
🔹 Donation Collection Carts – Goodwill will drop off and pick up wheeled carts to hold donations. If they fill up before your event ends, just let us know—we’ll swap them out ASAP!
🔹 Marketing Support – We’ll provide promotional materials to help spread the word and make your drive a success.
🔹 Additional Drop-Off Option – Your team can also take donations directly to any of our five Goodwill Retail Stores in Wooster, Orrville, Rittman, Millersburg, or Loudonville.
