“We are excited that this new store is going to allow us to provide our supporters in Forest with a larger, more convenient location for them to donate and shop,” states Mindy Boyd, Chief Operating Officer for Goodwill. “The Forest area has always been very supportive of Goodwill and our mission. We look forward to continuing to serve this community in the new location as well as at our other area stores and through our program services.”

Goodwill’s vision to eliminate poverty is fueled by our mission of empowering individuals, strengthening families, and inspiring communities. When you choose to donate and shop at Goodwill, you help support Goodwill’s skills training, job placement, and support services to help people achieve their fullest potential.

Goodwill looks forward to seeing Forest and Lynchburg area customers and donors at the new location on Forest Road and also at our other area stores on Timberlake and Wards Road.
