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

In addition, The Corner at Debs Store is also working to close the wealth gap by providing career and financial wellness services on the grocery store’s second floor.

The top floor contains a GoodCareers Center, a free, full-service career center that allows anyone looking for work to access resources and learn skills for conducting an independent job search.

Also upstairs is a VyStar Credit Union “Financial Fitness” Center, where VyStar specialists are available to assist members with accessing online services, opening accounts, and providing financial counseling. A community space with flexible seating, a projector, and a screen is also available for reservation at no cost.

Why is this initiative so important? Because access to healthy, fresh food is not a luxury; it’s a necessity.
