Goodwill of North Georgia

Store sales - Goodwill of North Georgia's mission is to put people to work. We achieve this by providing a vast array of job training and employment services to thousands of individuals each year. In fiscal year 2023, we served over 3.3 million donors at 47 collection sites and served over 8 million customers at 69 Goodwill stores. The proceeds from our donated goods program help fund our mission-related programs, services, fourteen career centers across North Georgia, and careerconnector.org. Our stores also serve as real-world, on-the-job training sites for some of our program participants.

E-commerce - E-commerce sales include sales of donated books on Amazon, donated jewelry, among other items, on ShopGoodwill.com, and shipping revenue. E-commerce sales are sold FOB shipping and therefore, sales are recorded when the goods are shipped, the point at which the performance obligation for each individual item is met.

Vocational services - programs and services include job training through real-world experience, job coaching and continued support after employment. We also offer vocational training in 26 different programs including construction, forklift, custodial/floor technology, and hospitality. In fiscal year 2023, we served over 43,146 people and helped over 22,113 individuals find a job or start a business. Additionally, we operate 14 career centers which are open to the general public and equipped with the staff and resources needed for job search or business development. Our participants and job-seekers include people who are having a hard time finding work because of physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities; poverty; lack of work experience and marketable skills; substance abuse; ex-offender status and a variety of other reasons.
