In order to maintain physical distance between customers and associates, we will be limiting the number of people allowed in each store.

Designated waiting areas will be available outside each store so you can wait while maintaining a safe distance.

We will be utilizing a no-contact donation drop-off system going forward. We ask all donors to bag or box their donations, we will not accept loose donations. If possible, please sort donations by type of item (i.e. clothing, electronics, housewares, etc.).
Gloves and masks will be worn by Goodwill donation attendants at all times. “Curbside” service will be practiced – donors should stay in their vehicles and simply pop their trunks – a Goodwill attendant will remove the donations.
Will all donations be accepted?
No large furniture items, printers or copy machines will be accepted at this time. Please refer to our Acceptable/ Unacceptable Donation List on our locations page for a comprehensive list of what we can and cannot take.
