Goodwill operates more than 3,000 thrift stores and donation centers across the United States, organized as a network of independent regional non-profit organizations under Goodwill Industries International (founded 1902, headquartered in Rockville Maryland).

This page covers what time Goodwill opens and closes today, the typical Sunday hours (Goodwill stores often shorten Sunday hours), holiday status (most regional Goodwills close Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day, with Easter and other holidays varying by region), plus how to find your local Goodwill near you.

Two Goodwill-specific things worth knowing: each regional Goodwill (Goodwill of Greater Washington, Goodwill of Southern California, Goodwill Industries of Houston, etc.) is an independent non-profit that sets its own hours and holiday policies, so hours can vary widely between metropolitan areas; and donation centers often have shorter hours than retail stores at the same Goodwill location.
