Goodwill Industries of Central Florida has opened a Donation Xpress in Ormond Beach at 1425 W. Granada Blvd.

The company also opened a location in Orlando in early June, and according to a press release, both donation centers will add "just over a half-dozen jobs to the local workforce and provide a more convenient way to drop off gently used items." Employees will meet people at their vehicle to pick up donations, which will be sold at Goodwill retail stores in Orange, Volusia, Brevard, Osceola, Lake and Seminole counties.

“When we open these new donation centers, we’re not just expanding our footprint in Central Florida, we’re also deepening our commitment to the communities we serve,” said Ed Durkee, president and CEO. “Each donation to Goodwill fuels our mission of ‘Building Lives that Work’ while also reducing waste. With Central Florida’s help, we’re filling a vital role in the circular economy by reusing and recycling materials.”
