You can check by calling 211 (United Way), or direct at 423.265.8000. They do a good job in providing basics, but you don't get to choose and you get what you get. Our voucher included lots of canned vegetables (some smashed beyond usable), a gallon of 1% milk (expires 4.11.20), a 10 pound bag of potatoes, a small jar of Jif peanut butter and a large bag of yellow onions, plus some odd items like jarred marinated artichokes and a huge cottage cheese that expired 4.8.20. We picked up this food on 4.9.20, so I highly caution you to check your expiration dates before you eat anything. I do feel as though I shouldn't complain at all because United Way is providing this food free of any cost. That being said, it's far from what I would buy for my family had they put the money directly in my hands. We did receive some strange items, such as a "discontinued" and expired-a-month-ago Wal-Mart item of 'blue fondant' and a set of decorating tips (without bags) :P. Just for the heck of it, I opened the fondant and it was harder than play-doh. I looked further and tossed 90% of expired food. :/ I would like to see them provide some fresh items with the canned foods and less snack-type 'Little Debbie' items. I get the Little Debbie though, as their manufacturing plant is located here in Tennessee. Even those items were expired a month ago. Some off-name granola bars expired this past January. I really was disappointed not to receive fresh fruits and vegetables. Oranges, lettuce, celery and garlic all would have been more appreciated than a sugary children's cereal and snacks. Maybe even a few fruit snack packs that don't require refrigeration and a loaf of bread would have been better choices than some that they picked. All the workers and volunteers wore masks and gloves and practiced social distancing amid our current coronavirus status and they also were very polite and respectful. They even loaded the food into my vehicle. But they do not allow anyone to come inside and I glimpsed a refrigerator full of fresh produce and stacks of bread. You do know you can freeze bread, right?

    Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this facility. I decided to adopt a kitten, which turned into two…read morenew kittens, and I spent a lot of time searching for what I hoped would be the best fit for both of us. I wanted to adopt long hair kittens and when I found a pair of long hair siblings on their site, I clicked on their "Adopt Me" buttons. I filled out the 2 page application online and went through their phone interview on Friday. I had to get certificates to prove my other pets are current on their vaccinations. Finally I set an in-person appointment for Monday. (They only take appointments and no public walk-ins at this time.) I called on Saturday to confirm my appointment for Monday which was scheduled for noon, which is the time they open. When I spoke with their employee they, once again, verified my information and then told me that the siblings I applied to adopt had just gone home together with their new family.They offered to let me come over on Monday to see who else might be available. Why did my applications ask for the names of the kittens I wanted to adopt if they weren't planning to hold them at least through my appointment time? How does this happen when they're "by appointment only"? Was anyone going to call and let me know before I drove 80 miles on Monday? (When I asked this question, she said they would not have called.) It makes no sense. There should be a disclaimer on the website saying that confirmed appointments and specific pet applications do not guarantee you'll receive the pet/s you're applying for. So--Beware. When you click "adopt ME" , you're really just going through hoops to be approved for an appointment to adopt from that particular days available pets. It's a classic "bait and switch." I'm sure there are plenty of fantastic pets available, but I researched, clicked "adopt ME", and entered their names on the application for a pair of brothers because they were the ones I wanted to adopt. I wish they were more upfront regarding this practice- in this age of technology, it should not be difficult to place a "pending adoption"notice in the pet's file. It takes effort to get to the appointment setting stage so it doesn't seem there'd be a lot of people getting approved and then skipping their adoption appointments.

The staff take such great care and love for the animals that are there. If you're interested in adopting a new family friend, take the time to walk the kennels to see if there is a pet that tickles your fancy. Speak to the staff and volunteers about which animal might be the best fit for you!

I have never felt so humiliated in a store as I did at this Goodwill location in East Ridge. This happened on 4/29/26 in late morning/early afternoon. My husband is in his 60s, a stroke survivor, and relies heavily on a cane. He has difficulty speaking and sometimes gets confused, so he needs a little extra time to communicate and understand. What happened here was the exact opposite of the patience and understanding anyone would expect from a charity that prides itself on being "inspired by compassion for the poor, sick, and disabled." A cashier named Helen told him the senior discount was 25%. My husband said that he had been told at a different location just a couple of weeks ago that it was 40%. Instead of showing an iota of empathy or patience, and try to help my husband understand, she repeatedly talked over him. He wasn't upset--he was trying to get his words out, which is already difficult for him. Her tone was incredibly loud and rude. Then, she volunteered to call the manager, Jeremiah, like she was bringing in back up. Which I suppose she was because he was no better--if anything, he was worse because he was the manager and should have tried to de-escalate Helen's irritation and the situation in general. Instead, just like his employee, he also talked over my husband repeatedly, didn't allow him to finish a sentence, and showed ZERO patience or empathy. To the point that my husband was reducing to asking, 'Can I please finish my sentence?' multiple times and was ignored while Jeremiah kept talking over him. It was impossible for my husband to communicate at all. We were calm the entire time. No threats or yelling. Not even any foul language. Yet instead of showing any understanding toward an elderly, disabled man who may have simply been confused, we felt completely attacked. When my husband tried one more time, "Can I please finish my sentence?" - We were then told that if we didn't leave, we would be escorted out. Imagine a disabled man in his 60s, barely able to walk with a cane being forcibly escorted out of a Goodwill of all places because he was misinformed on the senior discount! The entire exchange, from start to finish, lasted only a few minutes. We left quietly--but the experience was deeply upsetting and humiliating. No one deserves to be treated this way. This was not just poor customer service--it was openly rude, dismissive, and lacking in basic human decency. What makes this even more troubling is that this experience is completely at odds with Goodwill's stated mission to support individuals facing barriers to independence. Again - If this is how employees are trained to treat disabled customers in their stores, how are vulnerable individuals treated behind the scenes when they come to Goodwill for help?

It was clean for a thrift store and the employees where quite nice. There just wasn't enough to browse through. They had a lot of t-shirts, which isn't a good quality in a thrift store. Overall, I probably won't be back, but was impressed by how nice the employees were!
