Goodwill Donation Center

I’m only giving one star for this place because of the convenience. Seriously if there’s another Goodwill with a convenient parking spot I will go there next time!
There were two women who assisted me at the time I made my donations. They seem like they were such in a hurry when I was the only one there. They were very rude, not letting me finish speaking and kept cutting me off. The other woman who issued my receipt did not include the shoes I donated — was she planning on keeping them as soon as I leave? They were even more than 5 pairs in excellent condition!

This used to be a great dropoff site. The male personnel were very helpful and came out to your car to help you unload. When you’re bringing in large, heavy items that’s really great. The last time I was there, however, there was only a woman there, and she remained seated behind a desk. Not only did she not give assistance at the car, but when I brought my stuff in she pointed to which bins they were to go into, directing me on what should have been her job. The time before that it was the same woman and another woman, but, again, neither offered assistance. Please, get rid of these lazy women and bring back the helpful men. In the meantime I can assure you I will be taking my donations elsewhere.

PEOPLE ;I KEEP READING THE SAME THING OVER AGAIN. It goes something like this …” I donated these items because someone unfortunate needs it.“I want to help poor people”.None of the things you donate
Make it to someone who needs it UNLESS THEY STEAL
IT .GW takes items, sells them for more than what discount dept store Ross would if they were brand new, then they give a few cents of every dollar to under compensate and over work mentally screwed people in the US legaly because using the precedent involving PA.
PA allows this method of compensating the mentally ill which has something to do with what that employee is worth to the store… They do some crazy wicked things to the workers. They think of every manipulative tactic to get customers by the wallet, they wrongfully terminate hard workers, and besides stealing (GOOGLE portlands GW .All. their perpetual Umbrellas to keep within the closed box of pandora. The corperate elite drive high end cars that cost as much as a managers salary For over 16 months …
And to hit home… These GWs have had nice management, good deals, polite workers, then it all went away
The worst goodwill was once the best… Vine and lexington now fails. BEVERLY near fairfax now fails.
The rudeness. Employee theft leaves a goodwill screwed.
Latiera by Lax went to hell as well. Two of the best managers are still in for the good fight even though corperate still calls the BS… Scott & Elwood. 1 white 1 black. Both ex army vets, both are bald .both have worked together, now apart… Shop their stores if
You at least want a fun shopping experience.

This place is convenient and they usually will come out to your car with a big bin to help you unload your stuff. The problem I have is with the older gentleman working there. He helped me unload all of my grandfathers clothes and old stuff and before I could drive away, I saw him pull out a belt and jacket for himself. Literally, put the belt on right there in the parking lot.
I get it, you work for Goodwill and yes, I’m giving this stuff away to someone who needs it, but dude! You should at least wait until I drive away before taking whatever you want out of there. Made me feel badly that i hadn’t given my Grandfather’s belongings to the Veterans or somewhere else more honest. I think this was super shiesty and convinced me not to continue donating to Goodwill.

This is a no-​frills and easy dropoff location. Plenty of parking, if needed, but you can usually just pull in front, empty your bags and boxes of donation, quickly get a receipt, and your off with your bad self (only that you feel really good because you donated and got a tax receipt for a write-​off).
Easy-​peasy — I like it.

I needed to get rid of some things laying around the house and a Goodwill is convenient to drop unwanted goods off. There are dropboxes for other nonprofit donations but not when you want to drop off larger items.

Friendly service, nice parking lot, neatly printed donation slips. No hassle. Located on the south side of the street.

Got stuff?
Yeah, me too, lots of stuff, à la George Carlin.

Three non-​stop hours (if I wasn’t such a pack rat I coulda been Unilocaling) organized my closets. Yield: two, Ziploc® extra large bags, full of gently used casual wear, OK stuff, stuff I couldn’t wait to get rid of. When I’m in high-​energy-​pare-​down mode, I want stuff gone NOW!
Unfortunately, I had to wait until today to get rid of my stuff. My reward for being patient, donation couldn’t have been easier. A smiling Alec was at my car pronto and exclaimed, «I’ve been waiting for you!» I handed off my neatly folded, previously laundered stuff, declining a receipt for tax deduction and was on my way in less than one minute!
Directionally challenged, I found pulling into the center’s lot dicey. As I approached (eastbound) I thought it was OK to enter on Kerwood Avenue. Nope, that’s their «exit»; nearly got rear-​ended. Eastbound, just past Kerwood Avenue is the proper «enter» on the first Bellwood Avenue. Yup, there’s another Bellwood Avenue if you miss the first that’ll circle you around to get you where you need to be whether you’re traveling east or west.
Goodwill Donation Centers are a true boon for getting rid of stuff! Four stars instead of five though, because these centers don’t post hours on drive-​by signage!
