Frequently Asked Questions.

Find quick answers to common questions about shopping, donating, and how your purchases support Evansville Goodwill’s local mission.

01 Where does the money from Goodwill stores go?

When you shop at Evansville Goodwill, your purchase does more. Store revenue supports our local team members and operations while helping fund education, employment, and other programs that serve our communities.

In fact, $0.82 of every dollar spent in our stores supports our people, programs, and mission. That’s why every purchase is part of our Cycle of Good.

02 How does shopping at Goodwill help the community?

Shopping at Evansville Goodwill is another way to give back. Revenue from your purchases helps employ local team members and fund education, employment, and other programs that help people across our communities.

So when you find something good, you’re helping do something good, too.

03 What can I find at an Evansville Goodwill store?

04 What is the Goodwill Outlet?

The Goodwill Outlet offers a different kind of thrifting experience. Merchandise is presented in rotating bins, giving shoppers the opportunity to search through a wide variety of items and discover new finds throughout the day.

Many items are sold by the pound, and the Outlet also gives donated merchandise another opportunity to be reused, helping extend the useful life of items and keep more goods in circulation.

05 Can I donate items when I visit a Goodwill store?

Yes. Evansville Goodwill retail locations offer convenient donation drop-off areas, making it easy to donate and shop during the same trip.

Learn About Donating
06 Do my donations and purchases stay local?

We do our best to sell donations in the communities where they’re received. At times, we may move items between Evansville Goodwill stores to help ensure smaller communities have a strong selection of donated goods.

No matter which of our stores sells your donation, the funds generated stay within Evansville Goodwill’s 28-county territory, supporting our local operations, programs, and mission.

07 What happens to items that don’t sell?

An item’s journey doesn’t necessarily end if it doesn’t sell in one of our stores. Whenever possible, unsold goods are given additional opportunities for reuse, salvage, or recycling, starting with our Outlet store where items are sold by the pound.

Our goal is to get the most value and use possible from the donations entrusted to us while keeping usable materials in circulation.

08 Why do some donated items not make it to the sales floor?

We want donated items to have the best possible next life, but not everything we receive can be sold in our stores. Items may be unsuitable for sale because of their condition, safety requirements, or other factors.

Whenever possible, items that can’t be sold are directed to reuse, salvage, or recycling channels rather than going to waste.

09 Why doesn’t Goodwill just give donated items away for free?

Because selling donated goods is what helps make our mission possible. Revenue from our stores helps employ local team members, operate our organization, and fund programs that are offered at no cost to the people we serve.

Your donated items become much more than something on a shelf. They become opportunities for people throughout our communities.
