Goodwill Retail Store and Donation Center in Santee occupies a renovated storefront on Mission Gorge Road at the Olive Lane intersection, operating under Goodwill Industries of San Diego County since the location's 2013 opening. The store accepts donated electronics and furniture alongside clothing and housewares, feeding a secondhand inventory pipeline that parallels the device refurbishment work at CPR Cell Phone Repair one block south on Mission Gorge Road. Goodwill Industries of San Diego County channels all retail proceeds into workforce development, job training, and employment placement programs, giving each purchase at the Santee location a direct funding connection to East County employment services. The furniture and home-goods section rotates large-format items including sofas, dining sets, and shelving — the same solid-wood categories that receive custom fabricwork at Purewood Furniture further up Mission Gorge Road. A 2019 renovation expanded the store's intake capacity for large-item donations, with the Mission Gorge Road location processing walk-in and drive-through drop-offs through a dedicated rear receiving bay.
