Goodwill of Silicon Valley Debuts on Whatnot: Thrifting Goes Live

November 14, 2025by Emily Martinez

At Goodwill of Silicon Valley, we’re always exploring new and innovative ways to advance our mission of empowering individuals to thrive in Silicon Valley through education, employment, and opportunity. 

This month marks an exciting milestone: our E-Commerce team officially launched Goodwill of Silicon Valley’s very first live shopping show on Whatnot!  

We’re proud to be only the second Goodwill in California, and one of just a handful nationwide, to join the Whatnot platform. This step forward reflects our commitment to creativity, community connection, and sustainability. 

Connecting Purpose with Innovation 

Through Whatnot, we’re bringing the joy of thrifting to a new audience in a whole new way. Shoppers can now tune in live to browse one-of-a-kind items, bid in real time, and connect directly with our team, all while supporting a mission that changes lives. 

But this is about more than just great finds. Every purchase made on Whatnot directly supports Goodwill Silicon Valley programs that provide job training, employment placement, veteran services, and career development opportunities, empowering individuals to achieve independence and reach their full potential. 

When to Tune In 

Join us for our live Whatnot shows every Wednesday and Friday from noon to 2 PM.
Tune in, shop sustainably, and see how every thrifted treasure helps fuel local impact.

A Future of Thrifting, Reimagined 

Our Whatnot debut represents more than just an e-commerce launch, it’s a reflection of who we are. By embracing innovation and new platforms, we’re creating more ways for our community to engage, shop sustainably, and support second chances. 

Because at Goodwill of Silicon Valley, every purchase has a purpose, and every innovation helps someone thrive.
