Episode notes
The Good Works Show hits the road for a special on-location episode, taking listeners inside the grand opening of Goodwill of North Georgia's newest retail location in Commerce, Georgia.
Hosts Elaine Armstrong and Trenise Lyons capture the energy of opening day — from the dedicated team members who showed up ready to serve their own community, to the shoppers who lined up before dawn, eager to be first through the doors. Through candid interviews with staff, customers, and Goodwill leadership, this episode offers an authentic, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to bring a new store to life.
More than a ribbon-cutting, this episode is a window into the everyday work behind Goodwill's mission — and a reminder that every donation, every purchase, and every new store is another step toward putting people to work.
