Goodwill Industries of Upstate/Midlands South Carolina is relocating their attended donation center (ADC) in Pickens, SC to 2700 Gentry Memorial Parkway. The ADC is set to begin taking donations tomorrow, August 3, 2022 in a new remodeled unit.

ADCs play an important part in Goodwill’s mission of helping people become independent through education and training leading to employment. Each donation of gently used goods dropped off at a Goodwill ADC is sold in one of their 40 retail stores across the Upstate and Midlands of South Carolina. The money from those retail sales fund career education and training programs through Goodwill’s Job Connections. In fact, Goodwill devotes over 90 cents of every dollar it spends to those programs.

Goodwill maintains 11 ADC locations across their 16-county region, along with each donation center attached to a retail store. A new ADC will soon be coming to the Anderson area in late August, 2022. 

The old Pickens ADC will close on August 3 and no longer receive donations. Visit goodwillsc.org/donate to find a donation center.

Goodwill Industries of Upstate/Midlands South Carolina helps people become independent through education and training, leading to employment.  Last year, GIUMSC provided career and education services to more than 10,000 job seekers by investing more than 90 cents of every dollar spent into its Mission programs.
