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 at Gastonia), and you can't place graduates, why run the program for multiple years?
This place is packed full of treasures. They are still doing things the old way with grouping by color. Sales would double if they stopped that. Worth a stop.
We dropped off some household goods here today. They were very friendly and helpful. I appreciate our donated items being cared for and given a chance to be used again.

Good amount of clothes, but everything is sorted by color and not size. It's hard to find items in your size. Housewares area was very messy and unorganized. Cards were not being taken, only cash.

A good, clean atmosphere and environment. Savannah and Ari in particular had great attitudes and were very welcoming. They were both efficient as well, given how busy it was.
