The vision of our 501(c3) nonprofit organization is that ALL people have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential through the power of work.Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee is based in Nashville, Tenn. The agency serves 48 counties throughout Middle and West Tennessee, operating 30 retail stores and two outlet stores, about 53 Donation Express Centers and 13 Career Solutions Centers. The nonprofit is one of Tennessee’s largest employers of people with disabilities with more than 45 percent of our workforce reporting some type of disability or disadvantage. Although affiliated with Goodwill Industries International in Rockville, Md., we operate independently through our own governing board of directors. Goodwill accepts gently-used items that donors no longer want, need or use. Those items are sold either in our retail stores or online at onlinegoodwill.com. Revenue from the sale of donated goods helps fund job training services and programs provided by Goodwill Career Solutions. In addition to retail sales, Goodwill depends on several other revenue sources, including state and local grants.

This is a solid Goodwill to return to for occasional treasures. There are some very sweet people working here and others who appear to be troubled, as is true everywhere.

The manager (?) scolded us for wanting to carry our PURCHASED table out of the store. Kanisha, dear sweetheart, please understand that the way you treat your customers predicts their future visits to your location. WE WILL NOT BE BACK. I refuse to shop at a store that allows staff BELITTLE customers.
