TYLER, Texas — Chick-fil-A has awarded Goodwill Industries of East Texas, Inc. a $100,000 grant as a recipient of the 2022 True Inspiration Award.
This grant will support Goodwill’s skills training and vocational opportunities for people with barriers for employment in East Texas.
Goodwill of East Texas provides a variety of job skills training from resume writing to cyber security certification training to job placement, and is one of 34 organizations recognized for a commitment to serving individuals in the areas of education, hunger or homelessness. In addition to serving their communities in these areas, the recipient organizations are either Black-led or serve communities of color.
Chick-fil-A increased its investment in the initiative last year, with a collective $5 million awarded to recipients for the second year in a row.
The 2022’s True Inspiration Awards grants range from $30,000 to $350,000, and Chick-fil-A is proud to have a Tyler organization amongst this year’s recipients.
“We are so honored to be recognized for the work that we do to help East Texans gain the skills they need to support themselves and their families,” said CEO Kimberly B. Lewis.
