West Virginia Executive Spring/Summer 2020 | Page 92

What an unbelievable time we are living in. With so many unprecedented events, it is difficult to determine where to turn for assistance. At this time, all 12 Goodwill donation centers and retail stores in the Kanawha Valley have re-opened with universal hours (Monday–Saturday 9 a.m.–6 p.m. and Sundays 10 a.m.–6 p.m.). Universal safeguards have been installed, including sneeze guards and social distancing, and all our employees are wearing gloves and covering their smiles with masks to keep our customers and donors safe. Donation centers are currently contactless, enabling donors to place their donations directly into bins for textiles/ clothing or housewares and email the office for a donation receipt. Donations are being processed in accordance with CDC guidelines and produced for the stores after being quarantined.
