Common questions

Can I use my gift card now?

Yes. Gift cards work at all stores again and kept their full value.

I have a green refund card. Can I still use it?

Yes. Bring it to any store. The cashier will apply your credit and give you a credit slip receipt in its place. Keep that receipt, since it's what you'll use from then on.

How do returns work now?

Bring your receipt to any store. Returns are issued as store credit on a credit slip receipt, good at any Goodwill of Northwest North Carolina store.

How can I keep track of my purchases and credits?

Ask your cashier to add you to our customer account and link your purchases. It helps us look up your purchases and any store credit on your account.
