our Business of the Week
They have been a Chamber Member since 2005!
Thank you for your membership and support.
The Tullahoma Goodwill Store is one of 17 retail operations in the Chattanooga Goodwill Industries service area. Although the store is one of many retail operations in the 23-county Goodwill region of SE Tennessee and NW Georgia, the Tullahoma Goodwill stands alone in its service to its neighbors.
"We are so very honored to be selected as the Tullahoma Chamber 'Business of the Week!' said Goodwill store manager Carla Gentry. "We are hopeful that being featured as 'Business of the Week' will allow us to better serve our community by informing them of our services and missions."
The Tullahoma Goodwill opened in 2005 at 1905 Jackson Street. Fabulous finds and amazing bargains of gently-used clothing, furniture, household items and more are what the Tullahoma Goodwill is known for. But the Tullahoma store, as are all Goodwill stores, is so much more than a treasure hunter's paradise.
Revenue from the sale of donated items helps fund mission programs that serve thousands of people throughout SE Tennessee and NW Georgia, including residents of Tullahoma and surrounding areas. Among those mission services for the Tullahoma community are the Health Equipment Links Program services (HELPs) and emergency vouchers.
HELPs provides durable medical equipment, such as wheelchairs, crutches, bath benches, hospital beds and more, free of charge to residents throughout the Goodwill service area. There is no income requirement, although application for equipment is necessary. One may apply online at goodwillchatt.org/helps-medical-equipment/ HELPs is operated out of the Chattanooga Goodwill office, but medical equipment can be delivered to the Tullahoma Goodwill store or other Goodwill location for convenient pick up by the recipient.
In 2017, HELPs supplied over 5,500 pieces of medical equipment and supplies to over 3,500 individuals, saving them, insurance and medical providers, and taxpayers over $1 million. More than 29,000 people have received medical equipment from this award-winning program since it began in May 2000.
The Tullahoma Goodwill also provides clothing to families and individuals who have experienced a fire, flood or other misfortune. A letter of referral ...

What if you could combine the agility, adaptability, and cohesion of a small team with the power and resources of a giant organization?
THE OLD RULES NO LONGER APPLY . . .
When General Stanley McChrystal took command of the Joint Special Operations Task Force in 2004, he quickly realized that conventional military tactics were failing. Al Qaeda in Iraq was a decentralized network that could move quickly, strike ruthlessly, then seemingly vanish into the local population. The allied forces had a huge advantage in numbers, equipment, and training-but none of that seemed to matter.
TEACHING A LEVIATHAN TO IMPROVISE
It's no secret that in any field, small teams have many advantages-they can respond quickly, communicate freely, and make decisions without layers of bureaucracy. But organizations taking on really
big challenges can't fit in a garage. They need management practices that can scale to thousands of people.
