Maple Shade, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/16/2020 -- While adjusting its procedures to help stop the spread of the coronavirus, Goodwill Industries of Southern New Jersey & Philadelphia continues to accept gently used clothing, household items, medical supplies, and more at donation centers in New Jersey and the surrounding region.

All donation centers have implemented a "pop and drop" policy, so donors can simply drive up to their nearest Goodwill location and pop their trunk, allowing staff to access their donations. This policy enables donors to continue to practice social distancing while giving back to the community and supporting their local nonprofit.

A full list of donation centers can be found on the Goodwill Industries of Southern New Jersey & Philadelphia website, along with a full list of acceptable donations. Individuals who would like to donate new, unopened medical supplies can also visit Goodwill Home Medical Equipment at 300 Benigno Blvd. in Bellmawr, NJ or call the facility to have larger medical equipment picked up.

By selling donated items in their retail stores, Goodwill funds job training and career services programs that help members of the community with disabilities or disadvantages find work.
The Goodwill mission is as crucial as ever during these uncertain times, as unemployment rates continue to rise throughout the region and across the country.

While Goodwill stores are closed to help stop the spread of COVID-19, shoppers can still access thousands of treasures online from the comfort of their homes at www.shopgoodwill.com.
