🎄✨ Kicking Off the Holiday Season in Style at Edgar's Above Broad!🎄✨ On November 19, we had the privilege of hosting a truly magical evening at Goodwill's own Edgar's Above Broad for the Augusta Metro Chamber's “Meet. Mingle. Merry.” event. This unforgettable night brought our community together to celebrate the season of joy, connection, and giving—and featured the lighting of the tallest Christmas tree in Augusta! 🌟 Standing proudly atop the rooftop venue at 699 Broad, the dazzling tree officially launched the holiday season in spectacular style. A heartfelt thank-you to Mayor Garnett Johnson, Chamber President Angie Cox, and our President, Jim Stiff, for leading the tree-lighting ceremony. Their inspiring words reminded us of the importance of lifting each other up during this special time of year. Looking for the perfect venue to host your holiday celebrations? Edgar’s Above Broad offers hospitality with a purpose, combining exceptional service with a mission to support education and our community. Here’s to a season filled with light, love, and community spirit! 🌟 #CommunityConnection #EdgarsAboveBroad #HolidayMagic #ChristmasTreeLighting #TallestTreeInAugusta #TogetherWeShine #HospitalityWithAPurpose

About us
Goodwill Industries of Middle Georgia & the CSRA's Mission is help people discover and develop their God-given gifts through education, work, and career development services. The Macon and Augusta, Georgia based non-profit has placed over 6,820 people in jobs in the last five years. Dr. Edgar J. Helms, Jr., founded the Goodwill movement in Boston in 1902 based on one simple philosophy: What people really want is "not charity, but a chance" to work. Goodwill Industries of Middle Georgia was founded in 1975. When James K. Stiff, came to Goodwill of Middle Georgia in 1994, the organization was still very small, employing only 60 individuals. Mr. Stiff saw the need for the services that Goodwill provides in the CSRA and added them in 1996. Since then, Goodwill Industries of Middle Georgia and the CSRA has grown to over 700 individuals on payroll and 14 value retail stores. So the next time you donate to us, shop with us, or outsource your supplementary work to us, you are really helping to provide meaningful jobs to people who simply seek a hand up, not a handout.
