b'RIVERSIDEDISTRIBUTION CENTERSIn September 2024 Goodwill SoCal opened a new state-of-the-art Distribution Center (DC) in Riverside, our latest investment in the Inland Empire. The new DC, with over 120,000 square feet of space, represents a move to consolidate ourwarehouse and logistics operation from two sites (in San Bernardino and Ontario) to one to increase efficiency and reduce costs.This strategic location is perfect for serving the 40% of our stores, Attended Donation Centers and Boutiques in the Inland Empire. This site makes it easier for our drivers by reducing overall miles driven, thereby lowering our carbon footprint. In addition to the warehouse space,the Riverside DC houses the San Bernardino logistics team, a recently opened clearance center and a future retail store.SHOP. READ. DONATE.
