(Fredericksburg, VA) – Rappahannock Goodwill will be conducting a Grand Opening Ceremony for its newest retail store in Orange, Virginia at the Orange Village Shopping Center at 500 North Madison Road, Route 15, next to Food Lion on Saturday, July 12th. Festivities will be held from 11AM to 2PM including free hot dogs and drinks, in store discounts, door prizes, children’s activities and more! This will be the 8th store to open for Goodwill since 1991. “We are excited about our retail expansion into Orange County,” says Kerry Ebbert, Goodwill’s vice president for retail operations. “The folks in Orange have been wonderful and several have stopped by the store to tell us they can’t wait for the store to open.” The new Orange store created 15 new jobs for the local residents and will offer affordable prices to shoppers.
Goodwill is a great source for clothing, toys, books, electronics, designer labels and home furnishings. Every time you make a purchase or donate to Goodwill, you help support their mission of providing quality vocational and educational services to people with barriers to employment – particularly people with disabilities. Last year, Rappahannock Goodwill provided services to over 2,000 people in our region. Goodwill truly is changing lives through the power of work! Come out and join Goodwill for their Grand Opening Celebration of the new Orange store on Saturday, July 12th located next to Food Lion.
