Goodwill Industries of the Valleys

✨ Meet Lissa, manager of our Tuscarora and Westover stores in Danville! ✨ Since joining Goodwill in 2013, Lissa has dedicated herself to her role as a store manager overseeing two of our retail locations. For her, it is more than just a job—it is a meaningful opportunity to positively impact lives every day. "We always strive to help people improve their lives, whether it’s from learning new skills, overcoming barriers, or eliminating poverty." — Lissa Gray Growing up, Lissa always wanted to help others. Because of her caring nature, she originally wanted to pursue nursing. After taking a few courses, Lissa decided to follow a different career path and found her place at Goodwill. Join us in thanking Lissa for her ongoing passion for helping others and commitment to the Goodwill mission! 💙 #GoodwillValleys #FindYourGood #GoodwillTeam #DanvilleVA
