Florida Goodwills Pledge to Assist Ukrainian Refugees
Goodwill to provide direct assistance and monetary aid

Florida Goodwills are working together to offer support and assistance to Ukrainian refugees. Goodwill stores will provide needed items to people who have fled to our state from war-torn Ukraine. Florida Goodwills will also collect monetary donations for the Ukrain relief effort.

Those needing assistance are invited to come to a Goodwill store where a manager will give them a certificate they can use to purchase needed clothing and household goods. This will accord them the dignity of choosing the items they need.

Goodwill Job Connection centers will also help those fleeing the Ukraine by referring them to resources for housing, food assistance, and other services, as well as helping them obtain employment.

To complement this assistance, Goodwill is inviting shoppers to round up their purchases during April to support Ukrainian relief efforts. Donations from Goodwill’s Round Up program usually go to support the agency’s employment services, but this special Round Up collection will be donated to the International Red Cross to assist Ukrainians who have fled their country.

Cashiers at Goodwill stores will also accept donations for Ukrainian refugees from people who don’t make purchases, with these funds being forwarded to the Red Cross.

Virtual Book Drive Will Supply Books for Children in Need
Book drive runs April 1 – 30

Goodwill’s BookWorks program continues to bring books and the love of reading to children, even during the pandemic. Some preschools are now allowing volunteers into classrooms to read and present each child with a book to take home. The vast majority of volunteers are engaging the children with interactive online readings. After stories are read to the class, the teacher presents each child a book that was previously delivered to the school. BookWorks put books into the hands and homes of more than 25,000 children last year. For some children, this is the first book they have ever owned.

A virtual book drive starts April 1 and runs through April 30 to supply the program for the coming year. People in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Polk, Hernando, Marion and Sumter counties are asked to purchase books for the program through an online wish list, or to make a donation to the BookWorks fund that will be used to buy books from a wholesaler. Goodwill can purchase new storybooks for less than $1 each.

To donate books through the online wish list or to make a monetary gift to purchase books, just visit the Goodwill-Suncoast website and look for the Cat in the Hat link on the home page. Or go directly to https://goodwill-suncoast.org/book-drive-2022.

WMNF 88.5 FM Community Radio, Q92 FM and US 102.3 FM in Ocala are sponsors of the book drive.

To volunteer for BookWorks, call 888-279-1988 and ask for BookWorks, or email bookworks@goodwill-suncoast.com

Goodwill’s BookWorks program is designed to instill a love of books and reading in children to establish the foundation for later success. Visit https://goodwill-suncoast.org/bookworks for more information about BookWorks.
