Never once have I been turned away or a donation refused. Great service from most employees I have met in donating experience.
This was my first time at this goodwill in santa rosa and I was surprised as to how they handle donations. I've worked at the one in San Rafael several times as a volunteer, and am familiar with what they want and feel they can sell quickly. Santa Rosa didn't excepyt brand new childrens clothing that still had the tags on them, which I even asked them about. They said they don't sell a lot of children's clothes at that location. You won't if you don't have quality items to sell in your store. I won't donate to that store in the future unless I was out of options.
I'm glad Goodwill exists, but there are many items that they won't take. We went about two blocks down the street to Crossing Jordan, who took most of the remainder. I wish we had gone there first, so they could have had the items that Goodwill took "off the top".
I've been donating to Goodwill for years across at least 4 states. Never in my life have I had to separate things myself as people waited in line behind me. I felt awful taking up everyone's time because I had a car packed to the brim with things my kids had outgrown. The man working the donation site this morning had me empty every box and bag as he either accepted or denied my items, one by one...while he stood there doing nothing. What is his job exactly??? Why was I the one dumping bags of clothes into your bins? I will find somewhere else next time!
They do not accept most items that are listed on their website. I was told this is because it is new policy so they haven’t had time to update their website, but the policy has been in place for several months.
