California Clothing Drop Off & Donation Boxes
Search drop-off locations, get directions, donate today
California has more drop-off options than any other state. Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Out of the Closet are everywhere, plus dozens of local orgs in every metro area. Watch out for parking lot bins though - some are run by for-profit companies. California law requires bins to display registration info, so check the label. Browse the full list below to find a drop-off near you, or use the map to see every location in the state.

California requires bins to display the operator's name, address, phone number, and whether they're for-profit or nonprofit. No label? Skip it. Some cities like LA and San Jose also require permits.
Yes. California follows federal rules, so you can deduct on both your federal and state returns if you itemize. Donations over $250 need a written acknowledgment from the charity.
New socks and underwear are the top need everywhere. Shelters can't accept used ones for hygiene reasons. Beyond that, SoCal needs lightweight clothing and NorCal needs rain gear and warm layers.
