Goodwill Industries of East Texas — Longview

Goodwill Industries of East Texas operates a store and donation center on West Loop 281 in Longview. Shoppers find clothing, housewares, furniture and other secondhand goods at thrift prices, and donors can drop off usable items at the same location during business hours. The Longview store is listed as open Monday through Saturday. The retail side funds the mission side. Goodwill Industries of East Texas describes its purpose as providing skills training and vocational opportunities for people facing barriers to employment, and its Longview operation is one of the sites carrying that work. That makes a bag of donated clothes a fairly direct contribution to local job training rather than an abstract one. Hours and accepted donation categories can change, so it is worth a call before hauling a truckload over. Goodwill Industries of East Texas is headquartered in Tyler; the address below is its Longview facility, which also appears in the Longview Chamber of Commerce member directory.
