History
Goodwill in Lincoln was founded in 1932 by Miss Eleanor T. Miller who traveled to Boston, Massachusetts, to study the Morgan Memorial Goodwill, founded by Edgar J. Helms in 1902.With Helms as the driving force, the Goodwill concept spread across the U.S. He conceived the idea of collecting unwanted household goods & employing men who were impoverished to repair & refurbish them. Income from the resold goods paid the workers' wages. The system worked & the Goodwill method of self-help was born. Revenue for Goodwill comes from a variety of sources, but the sale of donated goods remains the greatest source of funding. Goodwill Industries in Lincoln is accredited through CARF (Commission on Accreditation for Rehabilitation Facilities) & maintains an effective Employment Services Program that offers job training & employment programs to people who face barriers to employment.
