What if I need to have my donation picked up?

You can absolutely have your donation picked up. Ohio Valley Goodwill partners with two different organizations for donation pickup: College Hunks and ReSupply.

College Hunks charges a fee based on the overall amount of items being collected. This service includes additional benefits, such as the removal of items from anywhere inside your property to be taken to Goodwill, as well as the removal of items Goodwill cannot accept. Donors will receive a discount off the regular pricing when they mention Goodwill, and your donation is still tax-deductible. Call 1-800-825-7819 to schedule your pick-up today.
ReSupply is a veteran owned and operated software and logistics company. Donors pay a small fee and can book pickup using the “Donation Pickup” option within the Goodwill phone system, or by visiting the ReSupply site. ReSupply’s system will automatically email the donor an electronic tax receipt.
