He wanted to find a way to help the poor immigrants in his congregation get the things they needed to survive. He decided to go to the wealthier parts of town and ask people to donate things they no longer used or needed so he could give them away to people in need. When he brought the donations back to the mission, the immigrants told Dr. Helms that they did not want charity, but preferred to work for what they needed. Dr. Helms listened to the people, and then decided to hire them to repair and sell the donated items in the first Goodwill store. He used the money from the store sales to pay the workers so they could buy the things they really needed. This first Goodwill store provided the opportunity for these immigrants to experience the dignity of work- the pride of earning your own way; therefore, the philosophy of Goodwill was born on that day over one hundred years ago. Since that time, Goodwill Industries has grown dramatically and includes affiliated organizations in 24 foreign countries. San Diego’s Goodwill is proud to be one of 170 Goodwill Industries in several countries - each one a separate organization serving their local community. At the request of Dr. Helms, Myron Insko founded Goodwill Industries of San Diego County (GISD) in 1930 in a building at 16th and Imperial with only six employees. Today we have several retail stores, donation centers, several employment centers and over 1400 employees in San Diego County. We are a “non-profit” organization. Our annual revenue is used to support our programs and services that benefit the community, run our facilities and pay staff wages. Mike Rowan, who has been with us since 1982, is our Chief Executive Officer. Our Goodwill operates under the guidance of an unpaid volunteer Board of Directors formed by business and professional people in San Diego County committed to our purpose and business excellence. Our purpose is “Getting People Jobs.” We accomplish this by providing job training, and free job search assistance through our Community Employment Centers. We also have regular staff positions and community (supported) employment. All of our programs focus on the individual’s abilities, not on disabilities or barriers to job success. All of these good things are possible because the people of San Diego County trust us with their donations. People have trusted the integrity and dedication represented by the name “Goodwill” for a century. Every donation is handled with respect, because it represents the faith people have in Goodwill. You are now part of that legacy of trust and integrity.

  • Title: Historical Timeline
    Goodwill Industries — 100 Years of the Power of Work At the turn of the century, a Methodist minister in Boston’s South End pioneered an organization that gave people hope, dignity and independence. Rev. Edgar J. Helms’ original concept was visionary, for it is just as relevant today as it was 100 years ago. His social innovation set in motion a worldwide movement that would transform more than 5 million lives over the course of a century — all through the power of work. 1863 Edgar James Helms, founding father of Goodwill Industries, was born in Malone, NY, in January 1863. 1889 Helms enrolls in Boston University Theological School. Helms had tried his hand at law and newspaper publishing, but felt “called to the ministry.” 1892 Helms marries Jean Preston, his childhood sweetheart. Helms and two fellow students request that the City Missionary Society support them in opening a full-scale settlement house in the North End. Instead, Helms is offered a struggling inner city mission in Boston’s South End, Morgan Chapel, established a generation earlier by Henry Morgan. 1896 Helms meets Fred Moore, a young man on his way to becoming a business executive. Moore volunteers to help Helms’ efforts, and begins a lifetime of service to Goodwill. Moore is the first of many attracted to Goodwill by the sheer force of Helms’ personality. Using burlap bags from Thomas Wood and Company, Helms goes door-to-door in Boston’s wealthiest districts asking for donations of clothing and household goods. Goodwill differs from many charities of the day, emphasizing that donated goods could be sold for profit and that money would be used to pay workers who helped refurbish those goods.

  • DIGITAL NEWS, VIEWS & EVENTS News
    GOOD GOOD GOOD Words News Deeds AUGUST 2019 DIGITAL NEWS, VIEWS & EVENTS THE VALUE OF LEARNING By Star Rupe - President/CEO As summer winds down and the kids are all headed back to school, I’ve been thinking a lot about the importance of always being a learner. Whether in the classroom or on the job, reading books and articles or listening to podcasts and watching Ted Talks, or simply committing to try something new…the value of merely being open to the process is so beneficial! As you read the articles in this newsletter, you’ll see a theme…a theme of individual accomplishments and team successes…all centered around learning new things. We have folks who have branched out into community employment although staying at Goodwill would have been easier and less scary! We have supervisors who have taken the initiative to upskill through various certifications- requiring hours of studying, preparation, and the dreaded testing! Goodwill has partnered with Allen College to promote education, and one of our own Community Trainers will benefit from the opportunity in both classroom and practical learning experiences. There are graduates of Goodwill programming, individuals who have moved into their own home for the first time (lots of learning opportunity there!), managers who are willing to walk into a new store almost every week and provide leadership- despite needing to learn all the new ropes. Our Literacy Program is intended to create an appreciation for reading and education at an early age, Special Olympics athletes are learning new skills and about friendly competition, and team members are learning more about Goodwill when they attend Bigger Picture Day.

  • "Welfare to Work" Does Work
    Community Investments Vol. 10, Issue 3 "Welfare to Work" Does Work Author(s): Ardis D. Jerome, Senior Director of Marketing and Planning, Goodwill Industries of San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin Counties, Inc. Summer 1998 Undoubtedly you know about Goodwill Industries . the closet is too full, you finally clean it out and drop off the bags stuffed full of slightly out- of- style clothes. But did you know that Goodwill Industries pioneered the concept of “welfare to work” long before it was a political buzzword or an official government program? This article highlights how Goodwill Industries, in partnership with financial institutions, is making “welfare to work” work for our communities. Founded in 1902 by a Methodist minister in Boston, Goodwill Industries employed poverty-stricken immigrants who worked for goods donated by Dr. Edgar J. Helm’s affluent parishioners. Soon, there were more clothes and household items than the immigrants needed and the first Goodwill Industries store opened. It was here in Boston that Dr. Helm launched the very first “welfare to work” program by employing the impoverished immigrants at the Goodwill Industries store. Today, almost a century later, nearly 1,500 Goodwill Industries retail stores operate in the United States and Canada. These stores generate employment opportunities and revenue which funds other Goodwill Industries’ skills training programs. Goodwill Industries has earned a strong reputation for providing employment and training to people with disabilities and other barriers to employment. In 1997, Goodwill Industries’ retail sales were an astounding $598.7 million, total revenue exceeded $1.2 billion, and 204,235 people received employment and training services.
