Goodwill Store & Donation Center

Very small good will and very dirty and smelly but the customer service was good. Very Small shoe selection

Such great customer service! The 2 ladies there were so helpful. This was my first time there. I was there trying to create my own DIY candy station ‘stuff’ and they were so patient with me and even grabbed me a cart bc the little basket I was carrying around was getting FULL. Will definitely return.

This review is only about the back outside donation area off MacKay Ln. Disgusting! They could not even get to the gate to open it. Everything was all over the ground and wet from rain the previous night. I really wanted to leave items that someone else could get some use out of. Yuck!

This is my local Goodwill that I donate at, which is very convenient. There’s also a Salvation Army one block away which I also go to.
The staff is friendly.
It’s an easy process to bring in your stuff to drop off and get a receipt if you need one for tax deduction write offs.
As far as, as a retail store goes, I’ve not shopped here, but often wonder if I’d ever see some of my old clothes for sale here or not (but I think they take all donations, then send ‘em to a main sorting facility to the inspect and then redistribute for resale)

I had some difficulty locating the store since my GPS and my phone had conflicting directions. After finding it, I was a little disappointed, but as I continued my hunt, I did find some decent treasures that made it worth the trip to RB… Thought it odd that they do not allow you to plug in the electronics… coming from LA, I am not going to chance it and have to come back to return… other than those issues… the ASM, Christina, is super amazing, she was patient, (I had a lot of stuff… and it was close to closing), she really knows how to work with people. I will go back again!

Two stars because I have found some nice stuff there but the selection is limited, prices are too high for thrift shop clothing, poor service, and Salvation Army is just better overall sorry goodwill

Wish I could give this place no stars since they gave me no service. I called to ask a question and they hung up on me. Didn’t even say hello. Thanks for nothing.

I drop off some electronics and clothing here on Sunday afternoon and decided to walk in. The employee are friendly and helpful. I ask about the drop off section and the recycle processe the employee didn’t mind answering any questions which I do appreciate. The store was stock, organize and clean. I then was directed by staff to the drop off selection around the conner behind the Goodwill, where staff was welcoming and helpful. I glad that their open on Sunday since it’s more convient for me.

Went in one night. Two women working were very, very rude. Will never shop this store ever again.

As everyone knows, Goodwills and thrift stores are always hit and miss so you can’t necessarily write a super solid review. I went in here the other day and scored some cool finds. I came across a brand new KCRW American Apparel shirt as well as some new Old Navy shirts and a brand new Jamaica shirt.
The service is as decent as it can be at a second hand shoppe. My absolute FAVORITE thing about Goodwill stores is that they color organize their racks. It shows that they actually are organized instead of throwing items on racks and it makes it less stressful to shop since thrift shopping is already a chore in itself.
This place itself doesn’t have the best selection, but if you dig deep, you’ll find something good.

This thrift store is just meh. 90% of the time I come here, I find nothing. Sometimes they have a few nice sweaters, but other than that, its really just a miss.
I also find this store to be a little cluttered. Its hard to walk through the aisles without bumping into the clothes racks or the bins the employees leave around…
Definitely not one of my top thrift stores.

My husband and I were treasure hunting for vinyls here today. They had one or two promising records, so my husband asked a very kind man working the floor (I wish I could remember his name!) if there were more in the back. He graciously went to check. Upon seeing the nice walk to the back, the manager on duty, Christina, angrily yelled at him to get back on the floor. Christina’s tone was demeaning. Isn’t Goodwill supposed to empower people in the workforce? Isn’t that it’s stated purpose? I must question how this company can fulfill this mission statement nationwide, if this store is failing in house. My husband apologized, and tried to explain the the gentleman was helping us. She met my husband’s explanation with a blank stare. Needless to say, we are never coming here again. Our things are going to Out of the Closet when we choose to donate… because if my donations and purchases are empowering Christina… well, I’d rather not.

I think I’ve only been inside only once, so this review is really for the outside drop off area. I probably drop off clothing/​kitchen stuff/​toys about 2 – 4 times per year. The helpers are good and help you unload your truck. They also give receipts which is great for taxes. There is a salvation army down the street which I believe has a larger selection of clothing for sale. But all in all this place is good for drop offs.

90 percent of the stuff in here is meh. The other 10 percent of the stuff in here is mine.
I firmly believe in keeping my closet fresh. If I haven’t worn something for 6 months – and it isn’t because it’s a seasonal/​weather item – I get rid of it. So I’m at this donation spot at least four times a year.
Donating has gotten easier than it was before. It still isn’t a glamorous process. You find a parking space. You unload just behind the gate in the back and someone takes your stuff as they ask you what it is. They used to have these boxy paper receipts that you filled out by hand, checking off the types of items (appliance, clothing, etc.) you gave and adding some personal information. They now have an automated system, so you walk into the store itself and someone in the back sits at the computer and prints you a receipt. I like this way better for one reason: It shows EXACTLY how many boxes/​bags of things you brought. Before, you got the same receipt and checked the same boxes, regardless of the amount of stuff. Now, there’s some sort of acknowledgement of the size of your donation, which I’m assuming is helpful on taxes… but it’s never really helped me with taxes…
As for shopping, I rarely check, but in the times that I have, I think I’ve walked away with one neat skirt. That’s it. There are other thrift stores on this same strip of Artesia that are much MUCH better.

I really only go to Goodwill because of the yarn. Every time I go they seem to have and awesometacular supply and selection of top quality yarns :)

Love this Goodwill!
I always manage to find a gem or two here. Today it was a sweet 1980’s purse, some random miniature straw hats (what? i love to make things for my poor dog to wear!) and a sweet pair of yellow slingback flats. All for under $ 10.
The girl who rang me up was super nice., too.

My brother has found some pretty awesome treasures here (SHARK VASE!), so we stopped in. The clothing was very well organized and everything looked clean and in great condition. They had a ton of electronics, books, purses, etc.
While I didn’t find anything to take home, I would definitely go back. They have a pretty good sized inventory with a ton more in the back waiting to be processed!

meh this ones whatever. most of the time I don’t find anything so I rarely go here unless I happen to be super nearby

Donation drop off — Yes
Designer clothing — Yay
Brand New household items — Yep
Lingering mothball smell — Yup
Decent selection of Halloween and Christmas items around the holidays — Yes sirree
This is a great Goodwill. The donation drop off closes at 4:30, is open on Saturdays, and is closed on Sundays even though the store is open. The clothing racks have a surprising amount of in-​style and brand name clothing (must be all of the Manhattan Beach donations :))
Local Targets send their clearance items after they didn’t sell to this Goodwill. Sporting goods, camping equipment, kitchen stuff is plentiful with Target clearance stickers on them but beware since many are damaged or are customer returns.
Not really a lot of furniture at this one. Lots of electronics (VCRs, stereos, hairdryers).
