Founded in 1930 and operating as a 501(c)(3), Goodwill Industries of San Diego County runs this La Mesa Retail Store and Donation Center on Avocado Boulevard in the Casa de Oro district. The 3713 Avocado Boulevard storefront stocks donated clothing, furniture, housewares, and small electronics alongside the imported home-goods inventory at World Market, giving the 91941 ZIP code two distinct price points for household furnishings. Goodwill San Diego's retail revenue funds free career-development services, including bilingual resume workshops and interview-preparation coaching, delivered through seven Community Employment Centers countywide. The Casa de Oro location's donation-center function processes textiles, books, and small appliances for redistribution across the network, and the employment-readiness pipeline it supports parallels the enrichment programming at La Mesa Adult Enrichment Center on the same El Cajon Boulevard corridor. Across its 45-plus San Diego County locations, the organization employs a workforce in which more than 50 percent of staff members have disabilities or other barriers to employment, with each hire supported by ongoing job-coach access.
