  This is the most organized and well run Goodwill I’ve ever been to. The employees are also extremely friendly and helpful.

  Goodwill's Trade School offers opportunities for up to 100 peope a year learn basic trade skills, and then wait 4-5 months for additional training to be career-readied. So glad Home Depot is able to help those that Goodwill is unable to assist. Why do you all advertise as a GED and IT technology on community resource sites if y'all don't offer them? I don't need to go to Wilkinson Boulevard to learn to go to CPCC for help. You have a giant building on Wilkerson that is mostly empty. Just admit what services you can provide (some trade school applicants will get accepted, others are offered jobs as clothes sorters at Goodwill). I think a reorganization of senior management is necessary. In a situation where staff, services, and programs are cut, why donate to Goodwill? There are so many other non-profits that actively try to create workforce development programs, why should I donate to the cause of keeping lights on at an organization that does nothing? If IT classes cost $70g each (per Corolla in Gastonia), and you can't place graduates, why run the program for multiple years?

  Good food at Goodwill! We spent about $56 total. As you can see, we had a nice variety: 2-meat dinner: chicken wings and turkey wing over rice with macaroni & cheese and fried corn. Everything was delicious except the fried corn. 1-meat dinner ($16): barbecue turkey wing over rice with yams and collard greens. Everything was great besides the collard greens. Smashburger single ($9): came with cheese and bacon, plus a side of mac & cheese for $2.00. Fountain drinks were $2.50 each. The wait was about 15 minutes, which was reasonable, and the workers were very friendly, polite, and helpful. They got the order right the first time, and the food came out hot and fresh. The atmosphere was beautiful—music playing, a nice vibe, and even alcohol drinks available. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and experience here.
