Goodwill of Orange County ‘s Newly Renovated Flagship Santa Ana Store
10.24.22
Goodwill of Orange County just reopened its newly refreshed and modernized flagship store in Santa Ana. A celebration was held to commemorate the reopening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a mariachi band playing live music, gift card giveaways to the line of guests awaiting the opening, and more.
The 24,000-square-foot store is part of the organization’s main campus and it's the most visited and highest-volume thrift store located in the county. Goodwill anticipates a 10% increase in both sales and traffic because of the extensive renovation.
The store refresh includes all-new fitting rooms, fresh paint, a revamped front entrance, and a relocated cash wrap featuring Goodwill’s signature reclaimed wood backdrop. Construction kicked off in July and finished earlier this month.
This store originally opened back in the 1970s and has not been updated since a footprint expansion back in 2008. Goodwill invested in the remodel to elevate its main campus flagship location to the modern and engaging thrift shopping experience seen throughout its 23 stores across Orange County.
Customers will find an elevated shopping experience and a one-of-a-kind assortment of thousands of donated goods, including clothing for all ages, accessories, home décor, electronics, furniture, and more.
Goodwill’s retail outposts generate the revenue needed to operate its mission to provide critical programs and services to Orange County residents who face barriers to employment, including individuals with disabilities and veterans, to find and keep sustainable jobs. For every dollar Goodwill of Orange County spends, more than 92 cents further the nonprofit’s mission to connect people with opportunities that change their lives.
Open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday – Saturday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
Goodwill is currently hiring with openings across all departments throughout the county. Interested applicants can apply online at ocgoodwill.org/careers.
2702 W. Fifth St. in Santa Ana.

The Aura Light Therapy Mask
10.24.22
Facial masks are all the rage for home use and for aestheticians. Now there’s a four-in-one LED light therapy mask that helps eliminate bacteria that cause clogged pores, oily skin, and inflammation via red, blue, yellow, and multicolor lights. It even reduces new breakouts and treats facial scars.
The Emberela AURA Light Therapy Mask is a mask that addresses different skin types and issues. With five combinations of lights ( \Red, Blue, Yellow, and Multi-color), it's a must-have mask for anyone that is trying to improve their skin tone, texture, acne issues, wrinkles, pigmentation, and much more.
- The Red Light has - 620 nm
- The Blue Light has - 460nm
- The Yellow Light has - 590nm
- The Multi-Color light has - 425nm
It's lightweight, soft, and flexible - not like so many of those that are hard/stiff and super heavy. This mask also includes built-in eye protection which you can easily read, work or watch TV, and is made of food-grade silicone which makes it easy to clean. And another benefit of this mask is it's the only one that comes with a customized stand for applying the mask to your hand - which we all know is one of the first places that aging shows.
It makes an amazing gift for anyone. As a special for Greer’s OC readers, apply promo code "greers" at emberela.com for a discount from $119 to $99.
