The Power of Work

We believe that work has the power to transform lives by building self-confidence, independence, creativity, trust and friendship. Everyone deserves a chance to have these.

Goodwill provides that chance.

Our Heritage

• For more than 100 years, Goodwill has been helping people find jobs, support their families, and feel the satisfaction that comes from earning a paycheck.

– Founded in 1902 in Boston by Rev. Edgar J. Helms, a Methodist minister and early social innovator.

– Dr. Helms' vision set an early course for what today has become a $3.2 billion nonprofit organization.
