Goodwill of Silicon Valley has been transforming lives through the power of work in Santa Clara County since 1928. Shoppers can find plenty of value and treasure at the Goodwill stores, which are stocked with new donations every day. The stores accept a wide range of donations, including electronics, clothing, books, shoes, jewelry, housewares, art, toys, and more, and turn these donations into jobs. Customers praise the great selection of items for household and clothing, including a surprisingly large number of brand-new items. The stores are well-organized and don't feel overwhelming, though the sizing of some clothing items could be better sorted. Prices are generally decent, and shoppers can sometimes find discounts on "color of the week" items. The parking situation, however, can be challenging, with tight spaces and inconsiderate parking. Overall, Goodwill of Silicon Valley is a popular thrift store option, offering a wide variety of merchandise and the satisfaction of supporting a good cause. Customers appreciate the store's organization and selection, though some minor issues with sizing and parking can be encountered.
Okay selection and yes the prices are very expensive. Bought 5 things, 3 clothing items, a blood pressure monitor and card game and it was $77 :’)

It's always a pleasure to shop at the Palo Alto Goodwill store. Very clean and a great selection of items. The staff is very helpful and always friendly. Chris at the checkout was gracious and helpful.
