The Association of Poinciana Village’s (APV) Board of Directors has made the following adjustments regarding violation notices during COVID-19 statewide “Stay-at-Home.”
APV will extend the time to rectify any outstanding violation until 30 days after the Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “Stay-At-Home” order has been lifted. There is one exception to this extension: sanitation. Sanitation issues can become health issues and can negatively impact the safety and health of the community. Residents must continue disposing of all trash properly and in a timely matter.

Due to limited hours and staffing, Goodwill Industries of Central Florida is asking donors to hold donations until the stores return to normal operating hours. For those who would still like to donate items in the interim, the nonprofit has modified its donation drop-off protocol and is currently accepting items only at its Donation Xpress locations from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Large items and truckload donations will only be accepted at the Taft-Vineland Warehouse.
Out of an abundance of caution for employees and shoppers, and in accordance with increased restrictions and guidance from the state, counties and Center for Disease Control, Goodwill’s 29 retail stores are temporarily closed. Goodwill is asking that donors do not leave donations unattended outside its retail stores.
