Goodwill NYNJ has helped New Yorkers re-use and re-purpose goods for over 100 years. Because Goodwill is a nonprofit organization, donors receive a tax receipt for their donations upon request.
 
In 2023, Goodwill NYNJ re-purposed more than 37 million pounds of pre-loved clothing and home goods, successfully diverting the weight of usable goods equivalent to 83 Statues of Liberty from landfills. Saving nearly 55 thousand metric tons of CO2 from polluting the atmosphere, the equivalent of removing 12 thousand cars from the road. Also, over 933 thousand donors, enough to fill the Nassau Coliseum 58 times, dropped goods at Goodwill.
 
We are committed to playing a vital role in the community and look forward to meeting you. Please RSVP to Info@merrickchamber.org if you can attend the grand opening ceremony.
