Denice Bizot

Denice Bizot loves shopping at Goodwill. “I started thrifting when I was 18 or 19 years old,” said Denice. “I don’t like the thought of something going into a landfill. I’m even wearing some items from Goodwill today.”

Denice doesn’t just look for clothing and household items when she’s thrift shopping. She specifically looks for items she can repurpose.

“I’ve always used found objects. I repurpose and reinterpret the things I find," said Denice. "Recently, I came across some stretched canvas panels at the Goodwill store, and I thought, why not? Art for me involves constant evolution, and I find the idea of doing something different exciting.”

*Denice’s artwork is in many private collections, including that of Catherine Zeta-Jones. You can view and purchase Denice’s canvas and metal art at the In-Town Gallery at 26A Frazier Avenue in Chattanooga.

The next time you’re shopping at Goodwill, maybe you’ll find something that sparks your creativity. The possibilities are endless!

Today is a great day to visit a Goodwill store near you or explore one you haven’t visited before: www.goodwillchatt.org/locations

Burlington's Success

By Lora B • November 24, 2025

Burlington's Success Burlington recently collaborated with Goodwill Opportunity Centers in Chattanooga and Dalton to host a series of hiring events aimed at staffing Burlington store locations, including their new Fort Oglethorpe and Dalton stores. Burlington store managers Forrest Thomasson, Desmond Hubbard, and Carol Kambhampati shared that hosting hiring events with Goodwill proved to be significantly more desirable than holding hiring events at their own stores. “It was such a smooth process. Goodwill Opportunity Center staff members greeted applicants and made them feel welcome, which allowed us to focus on conducting interviews,” said Carol. Attendees were also invited to sign up for Goodwill’s free My Career Advisor online platform, which supports job seekers through every step of their career journey. The platform offers tools and resources for career exploration, resume building, training and education, and access to community resources. The collaboration between Burlington and Goodwill resulted in 132 job placements in our region. “Goodwill Opportunity Centers are a gold mine of a resource,” said Forrest. Desmond added, “I would definitely recommend that other employers reach out to Goodwill for hiring support.” Whether you're a job seeker or an employer in Southeast Tennessee or Northwest Georgia, Goodwill is here to help.
