Goodwill Industries began in 1902 when Reverend Edgar J. Helms, a Methodist minister in Boston, started collecting used clothing and household items from wealthier communities. He employed individuals with disabilities and other barriers to employment to repair and sell these items, providing them with job training and wages. This innovative approach to philanthropy and job creation laid the foundation for what would become the Goodwill organization, which has since expanded globally. Today, Goodwill operates retail stores that fund job training and community programs.
