Donate

Easter Seals Goodwill needs your help. The demand for donated goods has never been so high. We are in need of items to sell in our stores.

We are expanding our donation bin program to combat the infiltration of other company bins sprouting up all over our territory.

Please allow us to place our bin on your property.

NOT ALL BINS ARE EQUAL…

Easter Seals Goodwill Industries is reminding donors to consider carefully the manner in which they donate used clothing and other household items.

The greater New Haven area is among a host of cities nationwide that are seeing the sudden appearance of unattended collection bins. While some are owned by bona fide charities, many actually benefit for-profit organizations.

It is important that donors make an informed choice and know to whom they are giving.

“All too often people want to quickly clear out the things they can no longer use, and simply drop their unwanted items at the nearest collection box,” says Richard Borer, President and CEO of Easter Seals Goodwill Industries. “People typically assume they are making a charitable donation, but that is not always the case.”

Donors can make sure their donations are benefiting the people who need them most by asking the organization a few questions:

• Will my donation be used to support a cause I believe in?
• What percentage of the revenues generated by my donation will directly support the mission of the organization?
• If the collection bin is owned by a for-profit organization, how will my donation help people in need?

When you donate to Easter Seals Goodwill Industries, 100% of your donation is used locally and 100% of the revenue generated by the donation will be used to fulfill our mission.
