Before you go

- Check garments under good light for stains and test every zipper; most thrift sales are final.
- Bring a tape measure and your key measurements — sizes vary wildly across eras and brands.
- Donating? Use the donation door during posted hours and ask for a receipt — see our Goodwill guide for what this chain accepts.
