Goodwill Industries of the Columbia completed a 1,200-square-foot attended donation station at 3250 Kennedy Road in West Richland, near Mister Car Wash, Budget Blinds and Roasters Coffee.

The $780,000 project includes storage space, a breakroom and a restroom. There is a covered station where customers can bring donations and a loading dock to facilitate moving donations to the nonprofit’s area stores. 

Donations power Goodwill’s mission of “changing lives through the power of work.” 

Goodwill served more than 5,000 people in 2019 and helped nearly 900 find work.

The Columbia chapter of Goodwill was established in 1969 and serves a 13-county region of Washington and Oregon, with stores in Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, Walla Walla, Wenatchee, Sunnyside and Hermiston.

Banlin Construction Co. of Kennewick was the contractor, with Justin Griffith serving as project manager. Jason Archibald of Archibald & Co was the architect.
