Goodwill will be having a grand opening on March 28, at their new store, located at 2067 N. Highway 97, “Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette is eager to expand its involvement in Central Oregon,” says Goodwill C.E.O. Michael Miller.
The new facility will include a Job Connection office for community members looking for free job services. The facility will be barrier-free, clean, bright, and modern. To serve customers better, the new, larger building will be purposely designed for an effective donation and shopping experience and be a model of accessibility.

Last year, GICW provided services to more than 40,000 individuals in the Pacific Northwest with barriers to employment.
