About

Thrift Store
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.

    It’s a big Goodwill compared to from where I’m from. It was relatively clean and everyone seemed friendly. I didn’t hit on any bargains today. The men’s selection on pants was a little low quality for me in my size range and I didn’t have time to look through T-shirts. I would try it again, but I can’t give it five stars.

    A shirt I picked up had bodily fluids dried on it. I've been to a lot of Goodwill stores and that's the nastiest thing I've seen at one. Staff were laughing about it on my way out.
