About the Blog
Goodwill Good Stuff is a blog by Goodwill Industries of Central Indiana, drawing inspiration from Goodwill finds, Pinterest, and creative community projects.
Our Reach
Goodwill Industries of Central Indiana serves 29 counties within approximately a 70-mile radius around Indianapolis.
Mission
Educate, employ, and change lives together through donations and purchases across central Indiana.
Goodwill Good Stuff celebrates creative ways to enjoy secondhand finds, from easy DIY projects and Halloween costumes to colorful home accents and seasonal decorating. Inspired by thrift-store discoveries, Pinterest ideas, and community projects, the blog encourages readers to look at familiar objects with fresh eyes. Repainting a small furnishing, repurposing a glass into a terrarium, or adding painted details can turn an everyday find into something charming and personal. Each post offers a welcoming starting point for readers who enjoy making, decorating, and discovering new possibilities without needing a complicated plan or expensive materials.
The blog also shares the fun of thrifting, outfit inspiration, and creative traditions for every season. Readers can find ideas for summer gatherings, spooky costumes, spring flowers, outdoor lanterns, and quick table settings made with a thoughtful touch. Community stories bring the experience to life, while reader submissions help guide future posts and celebrate unique projects from central Indiana. Goodwill Industries of Central Indiana supports opportunities through its work, and Goodwill Good Stuff reflects that mission by showing how donated items can inspire imagination, connection, and a more creative approach to everyday living.
