I love donating items to Goodwill, they also take items that are not wearable to recycle--the folks who work at this store and also the Hillsborough store are so friendly and helpful. As an organization Goodwill has done so much for many many years. As a child growing up in NE Washington DC I shopped at Goodwill a lot, and we donated there as well. That was in the 60s and 70s. I am so glad that I have rediscovered it as an adult. Thanks for all you do!

GCF is a total joke and should not be allowed to market it self as "Goodwill." The clothing is trashy, the books video games and appliances have always already been picked through before they hit the shelves, and anything worth more than a dime is locked up in the front with a print-out of the highest buy-it-now listing they could find. Better off shopping at a retail store.

Just discovered this GFC Store. Nice large store, clean, large selection of clothing. High end clothing items as well. Nice employees. I actually dropped an item in the parking lot and one of the employees ran out to my car before I drove out of the parking lot.

I have shopped at this goodwill since the day it opened...it continues to go down hill in all areas....they must be getting bottom of barrel clothing now. The quality of clothing kitchen wares and furniture have all declined...It is not clean at all...

Hit or miss. Staff is unfriendly and unprofessional. The stock is sometimes very disorganized. Usually has lots of treasures to find if you have the time or enjoy the hunt.

My only place to donate all our outdated belongings. You can get some cheap clothings and other accessories from this store too.

Great stuff, pushy/often unwelcoming staff (understandable, though) and weird hours. Worth the drive out there for the finds!
