Goodwill NYNJ Store & Donation Center

Secondhand shopping often serves more than one purpose. Goodwill NYNJ Store & Donation Center operates as part of a nonprofit network, offering pre-owned clothing, housewares, and other everyday items while supporting community programs. The Upper West Side location at 157 W 72nd St New York, NY 10023 sits among the neighborhood’s mix of historic brownstones and smaller retail storefronts. Unlike typical thrift stores, this branch ties directly into a larger mission, where purchases and donations fund job training and employment services across the region.

Questions about donations or inventory can be directed to (212) 799-2723, though the store’s layout and policies follow the familiar Goodwill model. For those mapping a route, the corner spot near Broadway is accessible via multiple subway lines, reflecting the area’s dense pedestrian traffic. The block itself remains quiet compared to the bustle of nearby Amsterdam Avenue, a contrast that defines much of the Upper West Side’s character.
