GOODWILL OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY

Thrift & Vintage

About

Operating as a 501(c)(3) since 1930, Goodwill of San Diego County in Point Loma runs its flagship retail store, donation center, and Community Employment Center from a Rosecrans Street campus. CARF-accredited since 2005 for Community Employment Services, the organization provides job development and placement for people with disabilities through a workforce pipeline that no other Point Loma thrift operation — including nearby Midway Thrift Store — replicates at the same programmatic scale. Revenue from donated clothing, housewares, furniture, and electronics funds free career advising, resume workshops, and interview coaching in both English and Spanish. The retail floor rotates inventory from 45-plus donation centers across San Diego County, creating a constantly refreshed product mix. That circular-economy model — donation to employment to community reinvestment — parallels the mission-driven resale approach at The Salvation Army Thrift Store & Donation Center, though Goodwill's CARF accreditation formalizes the employment-services component to clinical standards. Job Readiness Program certifications — requiring completion of all soft-skill workshops plus biweekly career-advisor meetings — represent the organization's most structured workforce-development offering.
