More About The Corner At Debs Store:

In 2024, Goodwill Industries of North Florida expanded its traditional focus on employment, training, and education to address one of the major challenges facing Jacksonville residents: a lack of access to healthy, nutritious foods.

The Corner at Debs Store, located at the corner of Florida Avenue and 5th Street, brought fresh produce and groceries to residents of Jacksonville’s Historic Eastside and surrounding neighborhoods, filling a void left by the 2011 closing of the original Debs Store. Working with our partners — LIFT JAX, the Debs Family, VyStar Credit Union, local community organizations, and our donors — we created a vibrant community space where residents can build healthier, more prosperous lives.

In addition, we helped close the wealth gap by providing career and financial wellness services through Goodwill’s GoodCareers Center and a VyStar microbranch, both located on the second floor of the grocery store.
