Goodwill donation without appraisal.

I donated a lot of items to Goodwill on a single date. No individual item was worth over $250, but the total value of the donation is $6k.  I have a generic receipt from Goodwill (e.g. 12 bags of clothes, 5 bags of electronics, etc), did I need to have anything appraised for the purposes of my taxes? I have already donated it, so don't think I could get an appraisal at this point.

Also, do I need to send anything with my taxes to prove this donation, or is that only if I get asked for documentation?
