Goodwill announced on Sunday that it will reopen select stores and career centers on May 6.
The organization started closing its locations in March, both because they were overwhelmed with donations and for safety reasons during the height of the coronavirus outbreak. Goodwill plans to reopen 21 stores Wednesday with changes to adhere to social distancing guidelines.
“The health and safety of our team members, customers, donors and job-seekers remains our highest priority as we carefully reopen our locations through a phased approach. As such, we have amended our processes and procedures to provide safe environments and remain in compliance with all applicable laws and safety guidelines,” Keith Parker, Goodwill of North Georgia president and chief executive officer said in a press release. “Our mission to put people to work is more essential than ever as the state of Georgia experiences record job losses.”
The organization says it has enhanced safety measures in response to the coronvirus outbreak, limiting occupancy based on each location’s square footage and by conducting deep cleanings and sanitizing its locations and merchandise using a “proven, eco-friendly misting process endorsed by federal health authorities.”
