“The generous donations we receive from the community allow us to provide our customers quality items at affordable prices,” said Pedro Barnes, vice president, retail operations, Goodwill Industries serving Summit, Portage, Medina, Ashland & Richland Counties. “The rewarding part of shopping and donating at our stores is the investment in the community it provides to help individuals prepare for, find and retain employment.

The new location will feature a job-search station for anyone seeking employment, a community room that can accommodate up to 15 people, as well as serve as a training site for Goodwill’s Work Experience Program.
