“We are especially excited to open our Dalton store because, along with the store, we are also opening another Opportunity Center,” said Gena Weldon, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of the Greater Chattanooga Area. “More than 85 cents of every dollar earned or received by Goodwill supports our mission. When people shop or donate at Goodwill, they are changing lives by helping to provide free job training and employment opportunities for our community’s most vulnerable citizens.”
