CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA (January 21, 2026) — Donating to Goodwill of the Heartland is now easier than ever. A new partnership with ReSupply, a veteran-founded logistics company, allows donors to schedule home pick-ups for furniture, clothing, and household items.

ReSupply’s licensed and insured crews handle lifting, disassembly, and transport from any part of the home. Most pick-ups are completed within 24 to 48 hours, providing a fast and convenient way for donors to give.

“If you have items to donate but no way to get them to us, this makes it simple,” said Goodwill of the Heartland President and CEO Pat Airy.

“It removes barriers to giving and turns generosity into opportunity.”

Donors also do not need to worry about what will be accepted. Items that Goodwill cannot take are redirected by ReSupply to other non-profits or responsibly recycled. This keeps more usable goods out of local landfills and helps more people in the community.

Founded by US military veterans, ReSupply also creates jobs and career paths for service members transitioning to civilian life. Their mission closely aligns with Goodwill’s focus on work, training, and opportunity.

How It Works:

          •    Visit goodwillheartland.org and click “Schedule a Pickup”                or call (319) 281-0418          •    Provide a few details about your items.          •    ReSupply confirms your quote and pickup time.          •    The ReSupply team arrives at the agreed-upon time, collects your items, and delivers them to Goodwill.

Donors receive a tax receipt for accepted items. Pick-up by ReSupply is limited to select communities.

While we expect this footprint to increase, pick-up is not yet available throughout our entire service area.

Donations are the heart of Goodwill’s work. Every item given helps fund job training, workforce development, and support services for people and businesses in our communities. Without these contributions, many of the programs that strengthen our communities in southeast Iowa and west-central Illinois would not be possible. Every donation makes a tangible difference in local lives.

“By making donating easier and more accessible, we can reach more people, support more programs, and strengthen the communities we serve,” Airy said.

Together, Goodwill of the Heartland and ReSupply make donating simple, sustainable, and impactful. The partnership helps more people give back and supports programs that help neighbors build brighter futures.

Goodwill of the Heartland is a non-profit operating in southeastern Iowa and west-central Illinois. We offer a variety of retail stores, an outlet and eCommerce to fund programs and services for people and businesses in the communities we serve. We help people reach their full potential through education, training, and the power of work.
