Goodwill to open new attended donation center in Boca Raton

On March 28, Goodwill Industries of the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast (GIPB) opened a new attended donation center (ADC) on Yamato Road in Boca Raton. With this new location, Goodwill hopes to support growth in the area, provide additional convenient options for residents to donate gently-used goods, and advance its mission of changing lives through the power of work.

The Yamato ADC (222 Yamato Rd., Unit #102, Boca Raton) will create three new jobs; hours will be 8 a.m.-8 p.m.

“At Goodwill, we are focused on providing the greatest convenience for community members to donate. The average donation fuels three hours of job training and opportunities, directly helping individuals to build job skills and achieve economic stability,” said Donn Githens, President and CEO of GIPB. “We are looking forward to gratefully accepting donations from the community in support of our mission of changing lives through the power of work.”

ADCs play a crucial role in supporting Goodwill’s mission-integrated donated goods enterprise, which offers life-changing services. Each donation of gently-used goods dropped off at a Goodwill ADC or store supports thousands of hours of on-the-clock education and job training, in addition to job and life coaching through Goodwill’s award-winning GoodPartner Coach program.

Additionally, Goodwill's operations help to divert items from area landfills; in 2024, over 48 million tons of donated goods were diverted from landfills in the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast region. This includes e-waste such as old electronics, which – if they can’t be refurbished – Goodwill ensures is recycled appropriately.

On April 4, Goodwill will also open its Stuart Crossing ADC (3320 SE Salerno Rd., Unit 3334, Stuart), with other openings to follow in the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast territory in the coming months.

There are currently 27 Goodwill retail locations in the region. For more information or to find a convenient location to donate or shop, visit experiencegoodwill.org.
