An important request today from Goodwill.  According to a news release made earlier today, the thrift store chain is requesting that "residents hold onto their donations while the donation centers are temporarily closed due to the coronavirus pandemic."

Local Goodwill stores closed their doors to the public on March 25th and remain closed indefinitely.  Consequently, with reduced staffs in place, those stores are not equipped to deal with the influx of new merchandise.

Evansville Goodwill Industries, Inc. operates 15 stores in Southern Illinois, Southwestern Indiana, and Northwestern Kentucky. Those locations include:

KENTUCKY

Owensboro (2 locations)

Henderson

Madisonville

INDIANA

Evansville (4 locations)

Boonville

Vincennes

Princeton

Jasper

Tell City

ILLINOIS

Mount Vernon
