Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana’s Retail Store sales floors will be closed to shoppers, effective Friday, March 20, and until further notice.
We will continue to accept donations during limited hours of 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., Monday-Saturday, and 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Sunday.
This situation is unlike anything our community has ever faced. Our first concern is the well-being of our employees, many of whom came to work for Goodwill because of an employment barrier that made finding a job elsewhere difficult, if not impossible.
The inability to operate our Retail sales floors has a significant impact on our entire organization. Over the next week, we are building a plan on how we can best move forward in the best interests of our employees and all those whom we serve. We are working with affected employees to help them access information on their health and wellness benefits, while proactively working to reduce or remove barriers to any additional services they may need.
We urge Hoosiers to continue donating their unwanted items in the coming weeks. Goodwill associates will unload items from cars, without our donors having to exit their vehicles. Donors are also welcome to park and bring items to the donation door, while maintaining sufficient distance from Goodwill employees and each other.
Thank you for your support for Goodwill. Together, we will continue to achieve our mission of helping to change lives every day by empowering people to increase their independence and reach their potential. We will continue to post updates at goodwillindy.org.
