“Wow! I was patron of ACY when it started over ten years ago. I supported them, brought friends, and was inspired by the project and classes. I just visited the newer center for the first time. It's huge, beautiful, and there's ample parking (go around back). There's areas to gather inside and out and plenty of nice retail items. The class I took was excellent, the teacher was highly qualified and lovely. I'm so delighted at the growth and grateful for all the contributions people have made. I will be back soon!”
“Today was my first time trying to donate platelets. Although my veins didn't cooperate, there were many people participating. Joshua was the one who took care of me. They provide warm blankets, a tv to watch, and snacks afterwards. If you are able, please make an appointment with the American Red Cross in Asheville to donate platelets. You can save a life.”
“So glad this place exists! Malcolm and Steven were super friendly and knowledgeable. I'm very happy with my new (used/rebuilt) bike and happy I was able to donate my old bike to the shop to further their cause of helping get kids out mountain biking who otherwise wouldn't be able to. Lots of bike parts available for cheap, like seats, clothing, accessories, etc. I will always check here first for any bike needs!”
“Veronica and the team at The Collider are top notch. They provide a high quality experience with impressive technology integration for meetings and events. The location is in the heart of downtown Asheville. It’s nearby everything that this mountain town has to offer.”
“I was referred to this organization by Helpmate. They got me into a vehicle within 3 months after applying.. it is a great vehicle and I still have it 2 years later! This is a great organization that helps people get back on their feet!”
“Wonderful folks working here and interesting work. I left feeling inspired and creatively invigorated for the new year. Will definitely be back in to enjoy the book collection.”
“Asheville has some of the best restaurants local restaurants I’ve ever come across on the east coast. I love this city for it’s food, and the views. Everyone puts their own spin on everything which makes it ten times better.”
“Boasting a compliment of surprisingly friendly staff people, the GoodWill career center is definitely and certainly worth giving a try, even if only just ? once.
But, what can you do here, one may ask yourself? If a job or even a career is what you need, then you are heading to the right place! This regional career center is conveniently located right next to the local DMV! And, by applying for jobs within the career center, then heading off to the DMV in order to learn how to drive or make use of their other motor vehicle related services, you may very well be setting yourself up to gain a slight or significant measure of success.
Please be sure to note a small disclaimer... The GoodWill career center cannot guarantee the successfulness of any of their clients being hired on for any job or career. The probability of gaining a paying job depends on the efforts put in by each individual, even if they do not utilize the services offered by GoodWill career center.
Above all other forms of advice, please be safe, and happy, jovial job hunting!”
“I recently rejoined the "W" & so happy I did. A true community, I felt welcome on day 1!! As a long time resident of Asheville it was great to walk in a class & see SO many folks I have known for many years- just like being at home. I have always appreciated the Mission statement & decided to put my $$ where my heart is. The teachers are awesome, knowledgeable & FUN!!!! Lots of variety to choose from. Special shout out for Delia, she has a an excellent eye & gives LOTS of modifications as needed in all of her multilevel classes. thanks YWCA.”

“Their Early Learning day care facility and adult day program for special needs adults is awesome!! The staff truly cares and they spend every day trying to make it a special place for their clients!”
“I absolutely love Goodwill.im there every weekend.. the retail store, and the one besides it, i mostly love going through the bins.. because you never know what you're going to find, the only thing I don't like is you can't always find the other pear to a shoes...there could be a lot better system then what they have... put all the shoes together, clothes with clothes etc etc it would also be easier for the employees to do it that way.. same thing with the retail store.. put t-shirts with t-shirts long sleeves with long sleeves, shoes with shoes and appliances with appliances... just make it more organized.. plus it would make more money for helping the resources of Goodwill... Everyone says they don't go to Goodwill because they're not organized.. and that's truly a shame because I find amazing things there.. I Mean even stuff with tags on them... but YOU shouldn't have to go to a store and look for hours. just wish they would make it more convenient for buyers.... #moreorganize”
“Went to the grand reopening!! Was thrilled that they have a new manager running things very smoothly and the store was very well arranged.
Definitely a breathe of fresh air in comparison to the management before. Was also glad to see familiar faces like the girl who puts the racks out. Checkout was efficient, and when I made donations the door guy was very kind and welcoming.
I was dissatisfied to see customers in there that have been caught stealing and changing tags before, back on opening day, and still doing things that have caused problems for staff and customers in the past. But unfortunately I feel like that is a corporate decision to keep allowing customers like that to return or maybe new management is not aware seeing as the previous management allowed it to continue even tho a customer and an employee were hurt because of their greediness over used clothing that they plan to resale.
Overall the store looked the best I've seen it in a long long time. So glad to have my local goodwil back again!”
“Am a Goodwill Shopper and this store has the best selection in our area. I'm not sure how I missed this store all this time. Will come back again.
P.S. the young guys at the counter were so humorous and made me laugh so hard. Thank you.”
“Such a unique spot with an amazing story. We popped by and visited with the cats for 30 minutes then got some cute trinkets on our way out. Both ladies were so friendly and the love that they have for every single cat is evident. Had we not been on a road trip, I have no doubt in my mind we would have applied for adoption. As a mini panther owner myself, you can tell how loved and well cared for these cats are. This was honestly one of the highlights of our trip and I hope all of those sweet kitties find their forever homes. I will definitely be back if we are in the area again.”
