MONROE TWP. – A ribbon cutting ceremony with elected officials and representatives from the Clarion Area Chamber of Business and Industry was held Friday, April 15 at the new location of the Clarion Goodwill Store at 200 Clarion Plaza (formerly Staples next to Dollar Tree).

They celebrated their new location by giving away a $10 gift card every 15 minutes during a live broadcast with Mega Rock.

The new location employs 14 people and includes a store, processing center and donation location.

Donations can be taken to the back of the store during store hours where an employee will help unload donation from vehicles and offer a tax receipt.

The attended donation center in the Trader Horn parking lot is still open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 5 pm. Sunday.

Store hours will remain at 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from noon to 5 p.m. Sundays.

Goodwill’s mission statement is “meeting life challenges through opportunity, education, training and work.”

From every dollar earned from donations, 90 percent goes toward the support of their mission and services.
