Transforming Potential into Opportunity at Goodwill Industries of the Greater Chattanooga Area

At Goodwill Industries of the Greater Chattanooga Area, we don’t just see the clothing and household items that are donated to our organization—we see the potential they bring. For over 100 years, Goodwill has been helping people turn potential into opportunity through education, training, and employment. 

We’ve connected hundreds of people to jobs–like Corey, who sought our services after he experienced a layoff. A Goodwill Opportunity Center manager helped him create a resume, submit job applications, and prepare for interviews. Corey accepted a position at the Chattanooga Area Food Bank, where he now serves as the Director of Data Insights and Innovation.  

By shopping and donating, you’re helping your neighbors overcome barriers to employment, diverting millions of pounds of items from local landfills, equipping people with training to prepare for the future of work, and making a real impact in Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia.
