Pat Sullivan of Crabapple opens an hors d’oeuvre tray she is contemplating buying at the Goodwill Store and Donation Center in Roswell Monday. Sullivan is a regular customer who was at the store’s 1996 opening. During this time of year, many sites see an influx of donations so people can get their tax break for the year, Sullivan, however, is shopping.
