About

Chula Vista's Goodwill Retail Store and Donation Center at 706 Broadway belongs to Goodwill Industries of San Diego County, a CARF-accredited nonprofit founded in 1930 in the Gaslamp Quarter. The floor carries clothing, shoes, furniture, books, sporting goods, jewelry, and bedding — a volume inventory where thrift-find alterations feed directly to shops such as Antonio's Tailor Shop on Third Avenue. Revenue funds Goodwill San Diego's Community Employment Centers, which provided bilingual English and Spanish job-search assistance to more than 7,994 residents in 2024. The donation center accepts clothing, housewares, toys, bikes, and home décor during drop-off hours, while oversized items beyond the intake scope route to haul-away specialists such as Junk Punch Junk Removal. In 2023, Goodwill San Diego's diversion operation conserved an estimated 75 million hours of electricity, 1.2 million gallons of water, and prevented 4,000 trees from being harvested for new-product packaging.
