OC Goodwill Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day

Stores in Orange County are offering green clothing and accessories to residents planning to celebrate St. Patrick's Day on Sunday.

Goodwill stores in Lake Forest and other cities throughout Orange County have put green fashions and accessories on display as locals stock up to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

"We follow all of the seasonal events like that,” said Stephanie Kupanoff, marketing and communications manager for Goodwill of Orange County.

Because Goodwill's stock is donated, she added, shoppers can find many unqiue items. "You can really find anything," she said.

Goodwill has 18 retail stores in Orange County. Its newest store opened in Placentia in September.

Most stores are open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays.

Being a go-to-store for St. Patrick's Day isn't Goodwill's primary mission. The nonprofit organization provides training and employment to people with disabilities

“We’re in the business of helping people with barriers to get and keep jobs,” said Kupanoff.
