Goodwill Industries of the Inland Northwest recently received approval to open a weekend donation center at the corner of Appleway Avenue and N. Signal Road. The location near the Liberty Lake Farmers Market will accept donations from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

According to a press release, the city of Liberty Lake agreed to test this project for one month after Goodwill received a positive response from residents during Waste Management's Spring Clean Up event in May. Currently, the closest Goodwill Donor Service Center for local residents is off of Sprague Avenue in the Veradale area.

Goodwill Donor Service Centers accepts clothing, shoes, houseware items, collectibles, tools, electronics, furniture and more. Donations are sold in Goodwill stores, with 85 to 90 cents of every dollar funding Goodwill's job training, education, veteran housing support and mentoring programs. 

For more information, visit www.discovergoodwill.org.
