Hi. This is the website for Goodwill Industries of the Chesapeake serving Central MD and the Eastern Shore. We are closed until further notice. Please contact your local Goodwill for information on their locations.
Hi, can items for donation be left at stores while they are closed?
No, we do not have any employees collecting donations. We ask that you continue to hold your donations until we can re-open. Leaving your donations at a closed store will force us to dispose of them, impacting our ability to be the best stewards of your donations and decreases resources available to support the communities we serve.
