Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana, Indianapolis Colts Announce Donation Drive

Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana and the Indianapolis Colts today announced a community partnership rooted in supporting local communities through donations. 

Through the partnership, the Colts will host a donation drive on Tues., Oct. 28, from 4 – 6 p.m. and encourage fans, friends and neighbors to donate used items to the Goodwill location at 1122 Keystone Way in Carmel. The drive also will feature special appearances by Colts Cheerleaders, mascot Blue, and a Colts player to be announced, and other activities.

“When you donate to Goodwill, the proceeds help the community by providing education, health, housing and employment,” said Kent Kramer, president and CEO, Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana. “We have all heard of the transformative power of sports and this partnership provides an opportunity for Colts fans to help transform the lives of our fellow Hoosiers through the act of donating items they no longer use or need.” 

Each time a donation is brought to Goodwill, it generates a powerful environmental impact that reaches far beyond our stores. In 2024, Goodwill sorted more than 75 million pounds of household goods. These donated items that might have otherwise gone to the landfill are instead given a second life, creating meaningful employment opportunities while helping to fund mission-driven programs, like The Excel Center® and Goodwill Nurse-Family Partnership®.
