If you're in Sarasota, Fla., and have a bunch of gently used clothes lying around, there's a new place you can drop them off.

That's because Goodwill recently opened its 20th Attended Donation Center in Nokomis, a 3,650-square-foot center that's open seven days a week, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports.
