Goodwill Manasota opens new donation center in Lakewood Ranch

Goodwill Manasota recently opened a new donation center in what it calls a strategic location. The nonprofit's latest attended donation center is at 7180 University Parkway in Waterside at Lakewood Ranch.

“Accessibility and visibility are key criteria for our sites, and this location meets both, while being at the heart of the vibrant Lakewood Ranch community,” Kimberly Glogovsky, Goodwill’s senior director of real estate, says in a statement. “We chose the Waterside location because of its prime position near University Parkway, offering our customers a quick and easy way to donate their gently-used items at Goodwill."

Goodwill reports that it is focusing its expansion efforts on “emerging residential areas,” especially east of Lorraine Road, where new home development is on the rise.
