Shopping at our stores funds our mission to provide free job training, education and basic services to our neighbors in need. Our programs provide critical support and training so that people can gain living-wage jobs and create better lives for themselves and their families. Learn more about what your purchases make possible.

We’ve made many changes to maximize safety in all of our reopened locations. You can learn more about what to expect when you shop in our stores by following this link: Shopping Safely at Seattle Goodwill Stores.

Our South Lake Union Store will start collecting donations at the donation drop-off center on July 24, one week after the stores open. We’ve created a no-contact drop-off process where donors are asked to unload presorted items from their vehicles and place them directly into labeled bins. Furniture and other large items will not be accepted at this time. Donations will continue to be accepted in the small drop-off bins at the front of each store for walk-in customers.

We disinfect all donated items with an environmentally friendly, CDC-approved anti-viral cleaning agent, and put them into quarantine for three days before they are sorted, priced and readied for sale. You can watch this video to see exactly how our donations process works these days: How to donate at Goodwill.

Thank you for understanding as we continue to adapt and develop new processes to provide a comfortable place to work, shop, and learn. We look forward to seeing you soon!
