AI-generated summary reviewed by our newsroom.
- Donations continue to accumulate outside the closed Goodwill site in Biloxi.
- Goodwill South Mississippi urges public to donate only at its new location.
- New Biloxi store at Pass and Eisenhower supports job access and community aid.
Goodwill of Biloxi officially relocated on Thursday, July 3, but donations are still being left outside its former storefront.
Though the new store is just a mile west of the closed Pass Road location, second-hand clothing and furniture are accumulating outside of the old site.
Signs are posted around the building, stating that the store has moved and is no longer accepting donations. Earlier this week, construction crews removed the large ‘Goodwill’ storefront sign and collected leftover donations.
“We appreciate the community’s support and concern regarding the former Goodwill location,” Goodwill of South Mississippi said in a statement. “We are no longer leasing or operating at our former Biloxi location on Pass Road and are not accepting donations there. We kindly ask the public not to leave items at that site.”
The new Goodwill is now open at 2647 Pass Road, on the intersection of Pass Road and Eisenhower Drive. This location is one of 12 Goodwill stores across South Mississippi.
“Our mission has always been about empowering people through the power of work,” Goodwill of South Mississippi President and CEO Vicki Burton said. “This move represents an investment in the Biloxi community, creating more opportunity, more access and more support for those we serve.”
