Spring Cleaning Goodwill Drive

Benefitting the Aliso Niguel Theatre Company

PRE-COLLECTION!

Help us as we team up with Goodwill of Orange County in helping to raise money for our program while supporting Goodwill of America and their mission to help Americans find jobs!

Please start saving up your gently used items as you clean out your old things for the New Year!  You can keep the items in your house until our official drop –off date in the Spring, or you can drop off the item(s) at the Aliso Niguel Drama room any time before then and we will hold it for you!      DATE TBD….stay tuned!

Our goal is to fill up 2 full trucks of items to put into the Goodwill stores and raises lots of funds for our program!

There are some limitations as to what Goodwill will accept.  They do not have the capability to repair, refinish or reupholster items and therefore cannot accept everything.  Examples of items that will not be accepted: large furniture, mattresses, children’s accessories (car seats, strollers, etc.), are rugs, bulky electronics, auto parts, weapons, food, drinks, paper or hazardous materials.

If you are concerned that something you have will not fit the criteria or need assistance dropping off items at the school, please contact the Aliso Niguel Theatre Company through anhstheatre@gmail.com.
