About us
Goodwill Industries of Middle Georgia & the CSRA's Mission is help people discover and develop their God-given gifts through education, work, and career development services. The Macon and Augusta, Georgia based non-profit has placed over 6,820 people in jobs in the last five years. Dr. Edgar J. Helms, Jr., founded the Goodwill movement in Boston in 1902 based on one simple philosophy: What people really want is "not charity, but a chance" to work. Goodwill Industries of Middle Georgia was founded in 1975. When James K. Stiff, came to Goodwill of Middle Georgia in 1994, the organization was still very small, employing only 60 individuals. Mr. Stiff saw the need for the services that Goodwill provides in the CSRA and added them in 1996. Since then, Goodwill Industries of Middle Georgia and the CSRA has grown to over 700 individuals on payroll and 14 value retail stores. So the next time you donate to us, shop with us, or outsource your supplementary work to us, you are really helping to provide meaningful jobs to people who simply seek a hand up, not a handout.

We had a blast hosting Professor Virginia Wilcox’s Education class from Wesleyan College for our third annual "$10 Grab Bag Professional Dress Challenge" on August 20th! Students got creative, finding professional outfits with just $10. The styles were impressive, and our winner’s outfit was truly exceptional! 🎉 Big thanks to Professor Wilcox and all the students for making this event a success. Looking forward to next year! #DressOnABudget #ProfessionalStyle #WesleyanCollege #GoodwillEvent #ThriftyFashion
