Founded in the early 1900s in Boston, Goodwill Industries introduced a model that differed from other charities of the day. Goodwill would collect donations, then employ people in need to repair and restore the items before selling the renewed goods for profit. The profits were used to pay the people who refurbished the goods. Goodwill Southern California has expanded from those humble beginnings in Los Angeles to operate over 80 stores, 46 attended donation centers, three campuses, five Career Resource Centers, and three WorkSource Centers throughout Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties.

Goodwill Southern California was founded with a mission to Transform Lives Through the Power of Work. Goodwill Southern California serves individuals with barriers to employment by providing education, training, work experience, and job placement services. Centered around four key values, Goodwill Southern California treats everyone with respect, conducts business with integrity, pursues a vision of excellence and continuous improvement, and service to clients and each other.

Goodwill Southern California’s programs help reduce unemployment, poverty, and crime—reducing the need for costly government support services while boosting purchasing power within the local community. This commitment to the community has led to recognition for the achievement and efficiency of Goodwill Southern California. The organization is proud to ensure that 95 cents of every budget dollar directly fund the programs and services that transform lives through the power of work.
