WASHINGTON — Goodwill® of Greater Washington (Goodwill) will be opening its newest retail store and donation center at 45380 Manifest Boulevard, Sterling, Virginia, located in the heart of the Dulles Corridor just north of Dulles Airport. This will be the 22nd store operated by Goodwill of Greater Washington. The location is now accepting donations and the grand opening of the store is scheduled for April 13, 2024, at 9 am.
The nonprofit agency hopes to offer the residents of Loudoun County not only another place to find quality donated goods at great prices but also an additional destination to donate apparel and household goods that have outgrown their homes. Every investment in Goodwill helps fund free job training and education services for people facing barriers to employment right here in the DMV.
“Goodwill of Greater Washington is proud to be adding another nonprofit store and donation center in Loudoun County to our growing retail footprint”, said Brendan Hurley, Goodwill of Greater Washington Chief of Collaboration, Communication, and Marketing. “91 cents out of every dollar we earn goes towards our education and employment services, so every item donated and sold at our new Dulles location will have a positive and measurable impact on our local community.”
In addition to jobs and job training opportunities, Goodwill also operates two free adult charter high school campuses called The Goodwill Excel Center.
Donor support for Goodwill creates a more sustainable community by further reducing the amount of material sent to our local landfills through the operation of a sustainability center that recycles plastic bags and will soon begin recycling glass. In 2022 Goodwill of Greater Washington resold, repurposed, or recycled more than 37 million pounds of material goods.
Approximately 30 new jobs will be created through the opening of the new store. Interested candidates can apply at https://dcgoodwill.org/now-hiring-dulles/.
