I donated over $250 but under $500 multiple times and kept the donation receipts as well as pictures and a detailed list of items and values, the values are from it's deductible.
Is this enough documentation for the IRS? Or do i need to get something else from good will? If I do, how do I go about this?
The donation receipts have Charity, Date and Address only.

Read below. It sounds like you have documentation from the donee as outlined below PLUS values obtained reasonably.
This, from Substantiating Charitable Contributions from the IRS:
"a written communication from the donee as a record of the contribution"
This, from Charitable Contributions from the IRS:
Donors must have a bank record or written communication from a charity for any monetary contribution before the donors can claim a charitable contribution on their federal income tax returns. ?
Donors are responsible for obtaining a written acknowledgment from a charity for any single contribution of $250 or more before the donors can claim a charitable contribution on their federal income tax returns.
