Donating Just Got Easier: Goodwill's Trailer Comes to You

Convenience, Delivered

In 2024, Goodwill Acadiana rolled out something new - a donation trailer that comes straight to you. No more loading up the car and driving across town for multiple trips. We bring the trailer to your neighborhood, your event, and even your business. Just reserve it on our website, and we'll show up right at your door, ready to take those bags off your hands.

Meeting You Halfway

Making donating easier isn't just about convenience. The purpose is to receive more donations to put into our stores, which means more funding for services right here in Acadiana. Every bag you drop off stays local, and it helps fund job training, adult education, employment services, crisis assistance, and affordable housing for your neighbors.

So, when you donate, you're clearing out a closet AND investing in your own community. And if driving that trailer to your door means we can help even one more person, we're willing to meet you halfway.

Ready When You Are

The reservation process is simple! Here's the step by step:

1. Head to our website and select your day and location! Reservations range from 24 - 72 hours.

2. Once we confirm availability, our driver will drop the trailer where you need it.

3. All you do is fill it up at your own pace

4. When you're done (or your reservation time is up), we'll haul your donations back to one of our local stores.

It's as simple as that! We park it, you pack it, we pull it.

We'll take almost anything, including, clothing, accessories, furniture, household items, appliances, sports equipment, and even used vehicles. The only things we can't accept are recalled items, mattresses, and large appliances, simply due to health and safety regulations. See the full list on our donate page!

The Mission Behind the Trailer

The next time you or your organization are planning a donation drive, let our trailer carry the load. It's a small ask on your end, but for someone in Acadiana, it could mean the difference between another hard week and a real second chance. Every item you donate helps fund services to support your neighbor working to get back on their feet. That's the kind of impact you can be part of.

Join us in our mission to reducing poverty, restoring independence, and transforming lives, right here at home!
