New collection site for Goodwill Truck visit

Arrangements have been made for the Goodwill truck to visit Guttenberg following city-wide garage sales on Sept. 25-26.

Residents may leave usable donations at the Goodwill truck to be parked at a new location at the corner of Hwy. 52 and Schiller Street (north of Bender's Foods) from Friday, Sept. 25, to Saturday, Sept. 26. The truck will be open during daytime hours and closed at night to prevent vandalism.
