Goodwill Hawaii has stores on Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island. Salvation Army has a strong presence on Oahu. Donate on the island where you live - shipping between islands is expensive and most orgs can't afford it. Hawaii's high cost of living means thrift stores move inventory fast, so your donations actually sell. Browse the full list below to find a drop-off near you, or use the map to see every location in the state.
Institute for Human Services in downtown Honolulu and Goodwill Hawaii in Kapolei are the biggest hubs. Salvation Army has thrift stores in Kaimuki and Kaneohe.
Lightweight cotton - shorts, t-shirts, sundresses, sandals. Aloha shirts and closed-toe shoes are useful for job-seekers in hospitality. Skip the winter coats.
Inter-island shipping is expensive. Best to donate directly to island-based nonprofits. On Maui, try Ka Hale A Ke Ola. On the Big Island, Hope Services Hawaii in Hilo.
Make sure everything is completely clean and dry. Humidity causes mildew fast during storage. Stick to breathable fabrics and rain-resistant layers.
