How the "Purge & Paint" Program Works

We’ve taken the hassle out of donating.
You pack it up, and we handle the heavy lifting.

Step One: You Purge.

As you prepare your home for our crew, set aside the items you no longer need.

Kitchen Cabinets? Gather old cookware, gadgets, and small appliances.
Interior Rooms? Clear out closets of clothing, shoes, and home decor.
Exterior & Garages? Round up old yard tools, sports equipment, or patio items.

Step Two: We Collect.

On day one of your project, simply hand your boxed or bagged donations to our Crew Lead.

We will load them into our company vans and bring them back to our office donation bin.

Step Three: Goodwill, a Local 501(c) 3 Nonprofit Organization, Benefits.

Once our bin is full, Goodwill schedules a direct pickup.

100% of your donations stay right here in San Diego County and are used to provide free employment programs and services.

Why This Matters: The Three-Way Win

A Win For You

You get a beautifully updated home and a clutter-free space without making a single trip to a donation center.

A Win for San Diego

Over 90% of Goodwill San Diego’s budget goes directly into funding free local career centers, soft-skills training, and providing stable employment for community members facing significant barriers to work.

Your clutter directly funds someone’s fresh start.

A Win for Us

We believe a local business should do more than just provide a service; it should lift up the community it serves.

We are proud to align our daily work with Goodwill’s mission.
