History
Report
Goodwill Industries began in Boston at the turn of the 19th century as an idea by the Rev. Edgar J. Helms. The idea was simple, fight poverty not with charity, but with trade skills - and provide a chance for the poor and the unemployed to do productive work. In the 1890s, there were no government programs to aid those in need.
