Goodwill Opens New East Ridge Store and Donation Center A new Goodwill store and donation center opened in East Ridge on Thursday, Feb. 26. The location, at 3715 Ringgold Road in the former Food City building, is approximately significantly larger than the previous Goodwill location in East Ridge. The over 40,000-square-foot building will feature a Goodwill store, a Donation Xpress Center, and a dedicated space for a future Goodwill Opportunity Center. The previous Goodwill location in East Ridge, located at 5082 South Terrace, in front of the AMC movie theater, will remain open as a Goodwill Donation Xpress Center. After the opening of the new East Ridge store, the local nonprofit will operate 16 stores and three Goodwill Opportunity Centers in the region. Goodwill Opportunity Centers provide career search services and employment-readiness assistance at no charge to the community. Store hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Goodwill accepts donations during regular store hours. “We’re proud to expand our presence and deepen our commitment to the community,” said Gena Weldon, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of the Greater Chattanooga Area. “Those who shop and donate join us in our mission to help people overcome barriers to employment, divert millions of pounds of items from local landfills, equip people with training to prepare for the future of work and make a real impact in Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia.” Those interested in learning about Goodwill Industries of the Greater Chattanooga Area can find more information at goodwillchatt.org.

Descripción general de la empresa

Goodwill fue fundada en 1902 en Boston, Massachusetts, por el reverendo Edgar J. Helms. La idea era sencilla: combatir la pobreza no con caridad, sino con habilidades profesionales, y brindar a los pobres y desempleados la oportunidad de realizar un trabajo productivo.


Motivado por la compasión hacia los pobres, los enfermos y los discapacitados, y decidido a mejorar su calidad de vida, Helms se echó un saco de arpillera al hombro y pidió ropa, zapatos y artículos para el hogar que ya no se usaran. Empleó a personas necesitadas para restaurar los artículos recolectados y les enseñó oficios y habilidades mientras trabajaban. Los ingresos de la reventa de esos artículos servían para pagarles un salario.


Con Helms como principal impulsor, Goodwill Industries se expandió por todo Estados Unidos. El 5 de julio de 1923, se inauguró la tienda Goodwill de Chattanooga, la primera del estado de Tennessee y la número 25 del mundo.
