WASHINGTON — Goodwill® of Greater Washington (Goodwill) will be opening a new Donation Express location at 5210 Langston Boulevard in Arlington, Virginia on Sunday, August 25th. The facility will sell a very limited amount of merchandise but will be used primarily as a donation center.

This will be the second Donation Express location operated by Goodwill of Greater Washington. The first being in Herndon, VA on Centreville Road.

Goodwill of Greater Washington also operates a store and donation center at 10 South Glebe Road in Arlington. The nonprofit agency hopes to offer the residents of Arlington County another destination to donate apparel and household goods that have outgrown their homes. Every donation to Goodwill helps funds jobs, job training, and educational services for people facing barriers to employment right here in the DMV.

“Goodwill of Greater Washington is proud to be adding another donation center in Arlington County to help fund our nonprofit mission”, said Brendan Hurley, Goodwill of Greater Washington Chief of Collaboration, Communication, and Marketing. “94 cents out of every dollar we earn from the sale of donated goods goes towards our education and employment services, so every item donated to Goodwill will have a positive and measurable impact on our local community.”

In addition to jobs and job training opportunities, Goodwill operates two free adult charter high school campuses called The Goodwill Excel Center.Donor support for Goodwill is also good for the planet by reducing the amount of material sent to our local landfills through the operation of a sustainability center that recycles plastic bags, glass, cardboard, books, computers, and soon textiles. In 2023 Goodwill of Greater Washington resold, repurposed, or recycled more than 45 million pounds of material goods.
