Goodwill Industries of Arkansas Partners in Tornado Relief Efforts On March 31, 2023, many individuals and communities across Arkansas were greatly impacted by devastating tornadoes that ripped through Central Arkansas and the city of Wynne. For months, GIA partnered with city government, non-profits and community partners to help in the relief efforts. To assist families in need, GIA issued more than $200,000 in vouchers to those who lost personal belongings from the storms. Vouchers were distributed through area partners and could be redeemed for goods at any Goodwill retail store in Arkansas. In addition, GIA partnered with the City of Little Rock to receive, sort and transport items donated to the relief effort, from donation centers to the public distribution centers. More than 900 hours of staff time were spent volunteering towards these efforts to help Arkansans recover from this tragedy.
