Goodwill Announces Store Closures During Outbreak Of Coronavirus

ROANOKE — At Goodwill, individuals, families and our communities are at the heart of everything we do. 
As we continue to see heightened concerns around Coronavirus (COVID-19) we have made the decision to close Goodwill stores, including the Covington location, effective Tuesday, March 24, at 6 p.m. 
Donation centers will remain open to continue to accept donations so Goodwill can continue to offer virtual services to the public during this critical time.
Store Donation Centers will accept donations Monday-Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. 
 Attended Donation Centers not located at stores will accept donations Monday-Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday closed.
Online shopping is available at www.shopgoodwill.com/roanoke. 
“Goodwill wants the community to know we are here to help during this crisis,” said Kelly Sandridge, vice president Brand Strategy & External Affairs.
“We have worked hard over the past week to get Virtual Services online so the public can have access to both live classes and online training assistance. 
“We are still enrolling in training programs for Information Technology and Healthcare, which can also proceed virtually,”?Sandridge added. “There is also an online Job Board of area employers who we have found that are hiring during this crisis. By continuing to donate, and shopping online, you are supporting Goodwill’s ability to continue to provide these services.”
