A fire has forced the indefinite closure of the Goodwill Clearance Center in Henrietta. The fire occurred on July 18, 2026, and the center will remain closed until further notice. The Goodwill Clearance Center is a popular destination for residents in the Rochester area, offering a wide range of donated items at discounted prices.
The center also provides job training and employment services to individuals in need.
"We are sorry to announce the indefinite closure of our Clearance Center in Henrietta due to a fire," said a Goodwill spokesperson. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The Henrietta location is one of several Goodwill centers in the Rochester area, and its closure may affect residents who rely on the center for affordable shopping and job opportunities.
The Goodwill organization has been a staple in the Rochester community for many years, providing essential services to those in need. The closure of the Henrietta location may have a significant impact on the local community, particularly in the Jefferson Road area where the center is located. Residents who rely on the center for shopping and job opportunities may need to find alternative options.
The Goodwill organization is working to reopen the center as soon as possible, but a reopening date has not been announced. In the meantime, residents can visit other Goodwill locations in the Rochester area. The Goodwill organization will provide updates on the status of the Henrietta location on their website and social media channels.
A meeting will be held on July 25, 2026, to discuss the closure and provide information to affected residents.
