Without Goodwill I would be homeless. Goodwill is my family. Growing up, everyone made fun of me and put me down because of the way I am. Working at Goodwill makes me happy.

Tammy joined our team in our Atlanta Highway store. She said she feels understood at Goodwill and is excited to stay active. Tammy loves working at the cash register because she can interact with customers.

Angela first started working at Goodwill over 30 years ago. She helped with sorting donations and clothing at our Air Base Boulevard location.

Stephen was born with limited hearing that led to the loss of all hearing in his right ear. It used to be a struggle for him to understand what others were saying, but with the help of a cochlear implant and learning to read lips, he is able to communicate with more ease.

Zandra started in the Air Base Boulevard plant, sorting donations and switched to retail so she could have more interaction with customers and “get to greet them with a smile.” Zandra enjoys helping those who struggle as well.
