5 Local Donation Centers in Sarasota & Manatee
Where to Donate Your Unwanted Items in Sarasota & Manatee Counties
Decluttering your home doesn’t have to mean sending everything to the landfill. One of the best parts of my job is helping clients find new homes for the things they no longer need — while giving back to our local community.
If you’re ready to clear some space, here are 5 trusted local donation centers to consider:
1️⃣ Goodwill Manasota
With multiple drop-off sites in Sarasota and Manatee, Goodwill accepts clothing, furniture, electronics, and household items. Proceeds support local job training and community programs.

2️⃣ The Salvation Army Family Stores
A great option for furniture, clothing, and gently used household goods. Items sold help fund local shelters and addiction recovery programs.
