Donate to Goodwill

Our store staff gratefully accept your lightly used clothing, household items, electronics and more! When you donate to Goodwill, your stuff works double time: You’re helping keep items out of our local landfills, and the revenue we make by selling donations supports Goodwill’s mission. If you’re interested in learning about the people your donations supported, visit our Success Stories page!

Vehicle Donations – Donate your Vehicle to Charity

One Last Drive for Good.

Thinking about buying a new car or truck? Instead of trading it in, donate your old vehicle to Goodwill Northern New England and help folks in your community by connecting them to Goodwill-designed programs and services in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.

Between getting you to work each day, taking the kids where they needed to be and getting to all the other places in your busy life, your vehicle has served you well over the years. Now it has the ability to help others! We’ve made the process as easy as contacting us online or by phone. Although your car must have an engine to qualify, it doesn’t need to be running! Once you set up a vehicle donation with Goodwill Northern New England, our partners’ representative will be in touch within two to three business days to schedule a pick up.

After your vehicle is processed, we’ll send you a tax receipt. If you would like to schedule a pick-up or have questions about whether your vehicle is eligible for donation, call (866) 829-2918 or fill out an online form. Vehicle donors must be able to provide a signed, clear title (without lien) at the time of the donation.

Donating computers, phones and more

We accept donations of computers, phones, gaming consoles, printers and related equipment in any condition. We’re proud to offer a way for community members and businesses to responsibly recycle e-waste and therefore divert it from the waste stream. We do this through two programs: GoodTech and Dell ReConnect.

At GoodTech, our staff takes your electronics and brings them back to life – refurbishing computers and making technology affordable for Goodwill’s customers and people in need. The products are then sold in select Goodwill retail stores. It’s always best practice to wipe all personal data off your devices before donating.

Business Computer Donations

When it’s time for your business to upgrade, we’re happy to accept old desktops and laptops. Our specially trained technicians will wipe off all data before refurbishing the computers and getting them into the hands of people who need them.

Dell ReConnect

Dell reconnect

ReConnect, a partnership between Goodwill and Dell, offers residents the opportunity to donate old computers free of charge. All computers and parts are responsibly recycled within the United States by Dell’s Asset Recovery Services. It’s always best practice to wipe all personal data off your devices before donating.
