Goodwill store opens in Hillsborough
HILLSBOROUGH – A new, but smaller Goodwill Industries store and donation center has opened in a Route 206 shopping center.
"We designed this new smaller-format Goodwill location to create a space where Central Jersey residents can give a second life to the clothing and goods they no longer need with convenient donations," said Katy Gaul-Stigge, Goodwill NYNJ president and CEO. "This new idea is a great for donations and doodads."
Where is the Goodwill store?
The new 2,093-square-foot store opened last week in Hillsborough Centre, the same shopping center that features Starbucks, Chipotle, Red Bank Veterinary Hospital and Patidar Supermarket among others. The address is 649 Route 206.
When is the Goodwill store open?
It's open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day.
Where is another Goodwill store nearby?
The other Goodwill store in Somerset County is at 509 W. Union Ave., Bound Brook, next to Dollar General in the space formerly occupied by Efinger's.
What's in the Goodwill store?
The store offers a unique selection of pre-loved donated goods that local donors have dropped off, including home décor, books, glassware and other great knick-knacks and doodads. The store serves as a sustainability resource to help residents reuse and repurpose the clothing and goods they no longer need.
What is Goodwill?
Goodwill Industries of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey, Inc. is a nonprofit that operates retail stores throughout the region powered by donations of clothing and household items. Goodwill translates those donations into workforce development services for people with disabilities and the unemployed, and job training leading to employment. Goodwill also provides behavioral health services that help individuals with mental health conditions stay healthy, on their jobs, and out of hospitals due to psychiatric crises.
In 2022, Goodwill in the metropolitan region provided services for more than 9,000 people who are under- or unemployed, approximately half of them people with disabilities. In the past year, Goodwill placed 1,042 people in new jobs, including 565 individuals with disabilities outside its stores with employers such as hospitals and health care centers, tech and accounting firms, warehousing and manufacturing sectors, and government agencies.
