The sale of donated items sold in retail stores supports mission programs. People in the community donate gently used clothing, furniture and household items to Goodwill. The proceeds from the sales of the donated items subsidize mission programs, giving thousands of individuals in the Omaha area the chance to earn a living, find independence and succeed in life.

Goodwill also accepts residential computers, printers and monitors at no charge, regardless of age or condition. Drop off at any Goodwill donation center. No tube TVs.
