May 4th – 8th is Goodwill Week, the time of year when Goodwill agencies across the country plan events to celebrate our mission. We have created special hiring and job-preparation events during this week to help our clients get closer to permanent, meaningful employment.

All employers and community partners interested in participating in the May 6th job fair being held in Cartersville should simply fill out the attached registration form.  During this week we will be giving out various prizes and providing food and snacks to our customers.  If you are interested in sponsoring any of the events by providing prizes or food, please contact James Benham at (770) 276-7036.
  Gift cards and promotional items would be great to donate for the prizes.  Food trays, boxed lunches, and pizza would be greatly appreciated for the food.  Please help us make this an incredible week!
