It is with great sadness that we share the devastating news about our new Alum Rock store being destroyed by fire. On Monday, September 14
th an early morning fire broke out at our newest store at 3020 Alum Rock Avenue.
Our CEO and President, Mike Fox shared with the
Mercury News that this Goodwill store was the fifth-top-selling store among 16 outlets in Silicon Valley. Sales figures, he said, were "far exceeding our expectations."
"It's devastating for this community," Fox said. "The Alum Rock community really needed a Goodwill location. We have insurance coverage. But it doesn't go halfway to what the store was providing to the community."
In the meantime we hope that our Goodwill friends in Silicon Valley will continue to donate and shop at our other
stores and
trailer locations.
Your donations and subsequent proceeds are used to help hundreds of people in the communities we serve.
Thanks for your continued support of Goodwill in Silicon Valley.
