The best location for donations. There is rarely (if ever) a line and the donation staff always seem to be friendly and in a good mood.

Ash, my cashier at Goodwill today, was outstanding! Professional, friendly, and took extra care to wrap my breakable items so they’d be safe. I absolutely love this store and have had nothing but great experiences every time I shop here. Highly recommend!
