Kailua, Hawaii (June 2, 2014) – Goodwill is returning to Kailua and will provide a convenient option for local bargain hunters to find great deals and donate their gently used clothing and household items. The store and donation center will be located at 105 Oneawa Street.
This will be the eighth Goodwill Retail Store and Donation Center location on Oahu and marks the return of Goodwill to Kailua since it was last open in 2010. With the addition of the Kailua location, there are now 11 Goodwill store and donation centers statewide: on Maui, Oahu, and the Big Island.
