Goodwill Industries across the country are all autonomous organizations that are given a charter and a territory. For Goodwill Industries of the Southern Rivers Inc., that territory stretches from Newnan, Ga., in the north and to Valdosta, Ga., in the south, then west to the Auburn-Opelika metro area, according to Kim Cantrell, senior v.p. for mission services for the regional nonprofit. For this Goodwill company, the focus is reducing poverty by reducing underemployment and unemployment.

This is the Ogletree-Wright-Ivey house, one of two remaining homes belonging to founders of the city of Auburn and Auburn University. The home, now owned by an Auburn University emeritus professor who lives in Taiwan, recently was named one of Alabama's most endangered historical sites for 2009 by the Alabama Historical Commission and the Alabama Trust for Historic Preservation.
