Goodwill Industriesgets pair of grants
LIBERTY -- Youngstown Area Goodwill Industries recently received $30,000 in grants from two area foundations.
The Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley, through a grant from the Kennedy Family Foundation, provided $10,000 that was used to replace doors throughout the Goodwill facility on Belmont Avenue.
A $20,000 grant from the Youngstown Foundation was used to buy exterior sliding doors to make the store handicapped-accessible.
The Liberty Goodwill store was remodeled in 1980. At that time, accessibility by people with disabilities was not a concern. Over the years, the door framing has rusted and deteriorated.
