In celebrating their 50-year milestone, SourceAmerica has selected to feature our very own: Lori White! A persuasive and powerful advocate, Lori has made it her mission to stand up against injustice and use her voice to bring about meaningful change. Lori refuses to let her dystonia hold her back, and she has told her story everywhere from the halls of Congress to her hometown. Prior to joining Goodwill Industries of North Georgia, Lori experienced firsthand the challenges of finding a job with a disability. She is quick to emphasize that advocacy for her isn't about getting special consideration; it's about leveling the playing field and laying the groundwork for a more innovative, inclusive and successful American workforce. https://lnkd.in/eT9tSb6q

On Monday, our dedicated team at Goodwill of North Georgia was honored to receive a Community Service Proclamation from the City of Atlanta. This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment and contributions during the Season of Giving Campaign. Our collective efforts have made a significant difference in the lives of the less fortunate by providing essentials such as food, clothing, blankets, and toys. This achievement reflects our shared values and dedication to serving our community. The recognition was not just for Goodwill of North Georgia, but a celebration of our team's spirit and impact. Additionally, I would like to thank the City of Atlanta and Councilwoman Boone for honoring me with the Special Recognition Award.
