Goodwill of North Georgia will open the doors to its Clarkesville donation center next week. A ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, July 29 at 10 a.m. The donation center is located downtown at 1500 Washington Street.
The Clarkesville donation center is one of several new sites the nonprofit is opening in the area. A Goodwill store and career center in Cornelia is slated to open this September. The organization also has plans for donation centers in Commerce and Toccoa.
Goodwill of North Georgia Public Relations Director Elaine Armstrong told Now Habersham in June, “We’re excited about expanding our footprint in Habersham County and looking forward to serving even more people.”
