Palmetto Goodwill partners with American Red Cross to provide clothing vouchers to Hurricane Matthew victims
October 11, 2016
Palmetto Goodwill is working with local chapters of the American Red Cross to provide help to those affected by Hurricane Matthew.
Goodwill will be providing vouchers worth $35 that can be used to purchase clothing and shoes. Vouchers can be redeemed at any Palmetto Goodwill retail store location. Please note that the Goodwill stores located in Hilton Head and Florence are closed due to damage from the storm.
To begin the process to obtain a voucher, please call the Red Cross at (800) 768-8048.
For those looking to help their neighbors, Palmetto Goodwill is accepting disaster donations of clothing, furniture and other household goods at all local Goodwill stores. Donations will help hurricane survivors replace the contents of their homes and help them get their lives back on track.
