Goodwill Industries of Metropolitan Chicago, Inc has served the needs of individuals facing barriers to employment since its establishment in a Westside church in 1919. Goodwill serves individuals with greatly varied experiences, skills and interests. While the agency's programs have changed with the times, the common thread has always been to help men and women develop the skills necessary to secure employment opportunities that fulfill personal and professional goals. Goodwill believes that its work serves as not charity, but a chance for these individuals to achieve self-sufficiency, regardless of disability or disadvantage. Since the 1980s, selected Goodwill programs and services have been accredited by CARF, the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission. As a non-profit organization, Goodwill appreciates the continued support of government funding sources, local and national foundations, and corporate and individual donors. Equally important, however, are Goodwill's own initiatives, which help us remain a self-sustaining organization.
