About Us | Goodwill's Beginning  Dr. Edgar J. Helms, a Methodist minister, founded the international Goodwill Industries movement in 1902. As a settlement worker Boston's South End among the area's immigrants, Dr. Helms looked for a way to help them get on their feet. He gave Bostonians the opportunity to be generous in a new way - not only through their wallets, but also through their closets.
Since 1955, Horizon Goodwill Industries, based in Hagerstown, MD, has been providing services designed to help people gain the skills they need to succeed in today’s workforce.
