Goodwill Industries + Rev. Tony Cross - A "Good" Win For Everyone!

Today's guest is an individual who always brings a smile to your face when he enters a room, with his positive force, uplifting spirit and sincere love for people! Rev. Tony Cross & I will talk about an organization that almost everyone is familiar with, but probably few know all the good work that it does, not only in our community but also in so many others. Goodwill of Middle Georgia and the CSRA , for most people, brings to mind the organization that you can donate items to and probably the stores where you can get great prices on nice stuff. But it is so much more! We'll talk about the organization's beginnings, its amazing growth and how Goodwill has made a difference in so many lives. With a mission of offering everyone an opportunity to fully develop their potential, Goodwill supports education and workforce development programs in our communities. We'll discuss growth plans for the Lake Area that will mirror those already established in Augusta & Macon, which includes providing education & training with a local Helms College Campus in the areas of hospitality, culinary arts and health care, three areas where we desperately need good, well-trained employees. We'll talk about Rev. Cross' role as the Spiritual Leader of our Goodwill organization and the important role he plays in the "whole person approach" to overall development and education. We'll talk about some real life success stories that Goodwill has been instrumental in, changing lives by giving people a chance, or in some cases, a second chance! You'll get a preview of what is coming to our area and how you can be a part of it! Guest - Goodwill Industries - Rev.
