Donating Items to Our Thrift Stores

Good Cheer turns old furniture, clothes, appliances and knick-knacks into food for hungry families and individuals on South Whidbey.

Call 221-6454 ext. 5 for pick-up of large furniture and appliances. You can also drop off items at 2812 in Bayview, just north of Bayview Corner. The donation drop-off center is open Mondays through Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Good Cheer’s thrift store item donation drop-off center on Grimm Road in Bayview is open to receive your used, (but still usable and saleable) clothing, housewares, small appliances, furniture, sporting equipment, and tools. Our volunteers will sort, prep and price them in our new Bayview facility and then move them to Good Cheer Thrift Stores in Langley and Clinton. Sales from the thrift stores support Good Cheer and help feed people in need in our community.

You can bring smaller donations and food items directly to the thrift stores if it is more convenient.

Remember to get your receipt for your tax-deductible donation.

Items in high demand include: housewares, linens, tools, books, men’s clothing, children’s clothing, antiques, jewelry, small appliances, and furniture.

When considering donating items to Good Cheer, please ask yourself; “Is this something that I would buy. Are your donations: clean, complete, useable and saleable?”

Please understand if we cannot take in all of your donations. Whatever we cannot sell must be taken to the landfill, and this actually costs Good Cheer money – quite a bit of money – which could be better spent to buy food for the Food Bank. Recycling items in the community is a green and sustainable practice; thankfully it helps to feed members of our community in times of need.
