Officials said, "Goodwill is a network of non-profit organizations governed by a local president and CEO and a board of directors. Goodwill Industries of the Greater Chattanooga Area sells donated goods to fund education, training and employment for people in their 23-county territory in Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia.


"For more than 100 years, our area Goodwill has helped people find jobs, support their families and gain the satisfaction that comes from stable employment."

Goodwill operates an Opportunity Campus and two Opportunity Centers in the area.
