National Thrift Shop Day and National Nonprofit Day are celebrated annually on August 17.

Goodwill Industries of the Greater Chattanooga Area helps people in our community transform their potential into opportunity through education, training, and employment.

This National Thrift Shop Day, we encourage everyone to shop, donate, and change a life by celebrating their unique style, shopping sustainably, and supporting nonprofit thrift stores that give back to the community. You never know what treasures you’ll find or whose life you’ll change as a result!

When you donate to Goodwill, the proceeds from selling those items fund vital programs such as job training and placement services. These programs help people gain the skills they need to find sustainable employment and improve their quality of life. So, by donating, you're not only decluttering your space, but you’re also making a positive impact on others in our community.
