Goodwill truck to be in LaCrosse

Residents living in the LaCrosse area may be able to benefit from the Goodwill truck that will be arriving at LaCrosse Community Outreach next month.

The truck will be present at LaCrosse for three days, Sept. 9 through 11. It will be open from 1 to 7 p.m. each day.

Donations to the truck during those days will benefit LaCrosse Outreach and Food Bank. LaCrosse Community Outreach will be paid by Goodwill Industries by the pound for donations collected, and all money earned from the drive will benefit the food bank.

The truck will accept clothing items, shoes, accessories, bedding, housewares, small electrical items, books and furniture in good condition.

Items that will not be accepted include workout equipment, mattresses, pianos, appliances, tires and batteries, guns and ammunition and hazardous materials such as fertilizers and household cleaners.

The truck will be parked in front of the Community Outreach, and someone will be there to assist people with loading donations into the truck.

Those who have physical limitations but still want to donate can call (509) 549-4500 to schedule pickup.
