A new Goodwill has opened in south London on Wonderland Road.
The grand opening was July 17, bringing 16,500 square feet of shopping space and a drive-through drop-off donation centre.
The store is located at 3245 Wonderland Road South and is creating jobs for people who have been shut out of the labour market, according to the store manager, Danielle Greer.
'At the point of opening, we created 60 new jobs for the community, filling most positions through our partnerships,' said Greer.
Their partnerships include multiple local employment services, such as Fanshawe College Community Employment Services and WILL Employment Solutions.
The Goodwill store aims to divert up to 3.5 million pounds of waste from the London landfill per year. The store will be open seven days a week.
