Goodwill Retail Store and Donation Center in Alpine operates a thrift retail and drive-through donation facility at 1834 Alpine Blvd, extending a mission that Goodwill Industries of San Diego County has pursued since its 1930 founding in the Gaslamp Quarter. This location accepts furniture donations alongside clothing, housewares, books, and sporting goods, channeling resale revenue into job-training programs for San Diegans with disabilities and other employment barriers—a workforce-development model that dovetails with the garment-care services at Alpine Launderland on Alpine Blvd, where donated textiles are often cleaned before resale. The drive-through donation lane lets Alpine residents unload items without leaving their vehicles, reducing the friction that causes reusable goods to end up in landfills. More than 50 percent of Goodwill San Diego's workforce consists of individuals with disabilities or other barriers, making each purchase at the Alpine store a direct contribution to supported-employment positions across the county. The Alpine Blvd storefront shares a retail corridor with fashion retailers like Chic Boutique, giving shoppers a spectrum from secondhand value to new artisan apparel within the same commercial stretch. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Goodwill San Diego directs over 90 percent of its revenue back into employment programs, community job centers, and skills workshops serving San Diego and Imperial counties.
