To the person who makes the deicisions for Goodwill:
Please do not close the Washington Goodwill store. We all realize sales are down. That's true of many stores in town. I'm sure that's because we are afraid. Like me, people don't want to test postive for COVID-19. They don't want to go to the hospital to be put on a ventilator or to die. But when we feel safe, we will go to your store again.
Many of us depend on Goodwill for clothes, books, kitchenware, and toys for our children and much more. So, people of Washington, if you want this store to stay open, let the officials at Goodwill know by writing a letter to the editor.
We know it's hard. It's hard for all of us. But we need you. So please keep this store open.
- Jackie Wells, Washington
