Goodwill Industries International was founded in 1902 in Boston by a Methodist minister who collected used household goods and clothing in wealthy areas of the city, then trained and hired poor individuals to mend and repair the items. He then resold the items to the people who repaired them, thus beginning the Goodwill philosophy of a hand up, not a hand out. Each year, millions of individuals benefit from programming provided by over 175 Goodwill Industries International member organizations.
