Our three outlet stores have been closed since March 23. The stores will remain closed until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to monitor the situation and notify the community about reopening dates.

As a service to shoppers and to allow our associates to continue earning paychecks, Goodwill-Suncoast retail stores have remained open until now with measures in place to strictly enforce social distancing.

Online Goodwill shopping available

Donation trailers closed; donations accepted at brick & mortar locations

Goodwill-Suncoast donation trailers will be closed until further notice. We ask donors to please not leave donations outside the trailers as the donations will be ruined.

Donations may be dropped off at the 20 Goodwill-Suncoast retail stores and at three brick and mortar donation centers from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and noon – 4 p.m. on Sunday. We ask that donations only be left during these times. To comply with social distancing guidelines, donations should be left in carts. Donation receipts are available on site. The donation center at 7601 Park Blvd. in Pinellas Park will be closed, as that is normally a training center for Goodwill’s Life Skills Development program.

Please check www.goodwill-suncoast.org for the most up-to-date information.

We regret that Goodwill’s closures will further impact the lives of people who are already feeling concerned for their finances and well-being. Goodwill® is committed to the health and safety of our donors, shoppers and team members. These are unprecedented times; a time of great uncertainty for all of us and a new situation for Goodwill.

We are all in this together. At a safe and appropriate time, we will resume our normal activities and work together to rebuild stronger, more resilient communities. We’ll share more information about when we will resume normal operations on our website www.goodwill-suncoast.org and social media channels. We ask for your understanding and patience.
