Goodwill's retail stores are clean, attractive, and shopper-friendly. Fresh new merchandise is available every day, and Goodwill's prices are unbeatable!
Our well-stocked shelves hold a myriad of household items such as small kitchen appliances, nick-nacks, toys, books, and other merchandise.

Goodwill offers a 10% discount for seniors ages 55+, and college students with a valid FL ID also receive a 10% discount every day on all items in our stores throughout Central Florida.

Each purchase you make helps us provide vocational services for people right here in your neighborhood. Goodwill ranks in the top 12 Goodwill organizations in the world regarding how efficiently we operate and the amount of money we send back to the community throughout our rehabilitation programs. So, come on in! You can find the location nearest you through the county locator above or contact us at (407) 857-0659.
It's easy to shop from home, too. Just check out Goodwill's online auction site - goodwillcfl.org/shop. You never know what will be up for auction next -- a designer pair or shoes, that missing piece from your collection you thought you could never replace, maybe even an authentic autographed painting! Bidding starts out low, at just $6.00 per item, then goes up as the auction date gets closer. Goodwill's online success is attributed to the team's approach of posting an average of 70 items per day, so there's always a variety of fresh merchandise to choose from.
It's free to register, and the site is friendly, secure, and easy to use. All major credit cards are accepted. So next time you are looking for that one of a kind item, visit the goodwillcfl.org/shop website - you'll probably find it listed there!
Goodwill Prices Stable in Midst of Rising Prices Elsewhere
As we struggle to cope with gas, grocery and department store prices that are escalating on a daily basis, here's a refreshing fact. Goodwill has not increased prices on its items in over four years. You can still get the same blouse at the same price, and the jacket that you paid $5.99 for in 2004 is still $5.99.
Goodwill Industries exists solely to serve individuals with disabilities and disadvantaging conditions in Central Florida. It is our commitment to offer good items at reasonable prices, and not burden our customers with paying the "extra costs of doing business.” Even though Goodwill's expenses have increased just like everyone else’s, we stand faithful to our customers.
So, come to Goodwill! Bring your donations, and shop in our stores. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the high quality items we offer at reasonable prices, and best of all, you’ll help us help those who need it most.
Goodwill Industries IS Green!
You've heard all the hype of everybody "going green” to save the environment, haven't you? Well, did you know that Goodwill Industries is Green? And we have been ever since we opened our doors in 1959. Goodwill is one of the world’s largest recyclers. Our recycling process is unique:
- Goodwill accepts donations of clothing, household items, and furniture, keeping these items from going to our landfills.
- The donated articles are then sold in Goodwill stores, giving new life to the donations and giving someone else the opportunity to get the most out of the recycled items. Additionally, we recycle approximately 18 million pounds of unusable donated items, and transfer these funds directly to programs and services for people who need them.
- Goodwill uses the money earned from the sale of the donations to pay for vocational programs and services for persons with disabilities and disadvantaging conditions in our own neighborhoods.
With a helping hand from Goodwill, special people are finding good jobs right here in Central Florida, becoming self-sufficient taxpayers who contribute to our community’s economy. Although the way we work is simple, it touches the lives of others who might not otherwise have the chance to change their lives.
So, think GREEN! Bring your unwanted items to Goodwill - it’s a great way to recycle and help your environment, and it changes lives, too!
