Dear readers,

I am excited to announce that the Grand Opening of the new Goodwill store and donation center in Ellsworth, Maine, is set for Friday, November 20.  Doors open at 9 am and the morning and early afternoon will be filled with prizes, raffle drawings, and a special guest appearance by the Goodwill mascot (see below!)

The new Goodwill store is located at 15 Downeast Highway (near the intersection of Routes 1 and 3 and on the spot of the old Dave Gould Ford dealership).  The newly-constructed building features a convenient donation drive-through.  The new store also accepts used computers and parts through the ReConnect computer recycling program.

The store was constructed with several environmentally-friendly features, including an energy-efficient HVAC system, updated flooring, and “green” windows to offset energy consumption.  The building is also engineered for Energy Star compliance, which means Goodwill will be able to apply for Energy Star status after one year of operation.

Goodwill is new in the Ellsworth community and we are excited to open our doors there – for more information, please visit our Facebook page!
