Neighborhood Donation Drives

Conveniently Scheduled After Your Neighborhood Garage Sale!

Donation drives are one of the simplest ways to contribute to your community. All you and your neighbors have to do is decide on a day for the pick-up, and we'll take care of the rest! Goodwill provides e-mails and flyers for you to distribute to inform your neighbors about the neighborhood pickup. Our trucks will pick up the donations from your driveways on the date we have scheduled!

Donate your gently-used items- furniture, clothing, house wares, small appliances, AND MORE- and Goodwill will help to keep them out of the landfill by reusing and recycling them.

Help us make Lincoln a greener place. One neighborhood at a time.

E-mail stefanie@lincolngoodwill.org to schedule the drive today!

Corporate Donation Drives

A great way to volunteer your time!

Donation drives are one of the simplest ways to contribute to your community. All you and your co-workers have to do is bring your donations to work, and we'll take care of the rest! Goodwill provides the donation bins for your office, flyers to inform your co-workers about the event, and trucks to pick up the donations when the bins are full.



Just follow these simple steps:

  • Check with your management for approval
  • Set a date for the drive (They usually run for 7-10 days )
  • E-mail stefanie@lincolngoodwill.org to schedule the drive
  • Bring your gently used donations to work
  • Receive a tax receipt for your charitable contribution!
