COLUMBUS —

Goodwill Southern Rivers (Goodwill) June 2 announced that it is donating $30,000 for humanitarian aid to Ukrainian citizens in response to what has been reported as one of the largest and fastest displacement crises since World War II. The donation is the result of a recent campaign whereby Goodwill donated a portion of weekend sales along with Goodwill customers rounding up their purchases at the register. “Over six million people have fled the Ukraine as a result of the conflict with Russa, and countless others remain trapped there under extremely dangerous and dire circumstances,” said Goodwill President and CEO, Jack Warden.” Images of families fleeing their homes have been deeply disturbing to all of us here at GoodwillSr.

“It is our hope that this donation will help alleviate, at least in part, a portion of the human suffering that we see happening. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Ukraine.”
