Goodwill Industries of South Central California is a nonprofit organization that provides work opportunities and skills development for individuals facing barriers to employment. Founded in 1964, Goodwill operates ten retail stores in Kern, Kings, and southern Tulare Counties, offering a wide range of affordable goods to support their mission of creating full-time jobs in the local community.
With a rich history dating back to 1902, Goodwill was established by Rev. Edgar J. Helms as an industrial program and social service enterprise. Helms' vision of "Not Charity, but a Chance" continues to guide Goodwill's efforts in providing employment, training, and rehabilitation for individuals with limited employability, while also offering temporary assistance to those in need. Through the generous support of donors and shoppers, Goodwill Industries of South Central California remains committed to banishing poverty and exploitation from society.
