==History==
In 1902, the Reverend Edgar J. Helms of Morgan Methodist Chapel in Boston started Goodwill as part of his ministry. http://www.bu.edu/sthlibrary/archives/neccah/records-files-state/boston-records/ In 1915, Helms hosted a visit to Morgan Memorial by representatives of a workshop mission in Brooklyn, NY so they could learn the innovative programs and operating techniques of the "Morgan Memorial Cooperative Industries and Stores, Inc."Out of these exchanges came Brooklyn's willingness to adopt and adapt the Morgan Memorial's way of doing things, while Helms was persuaded that "Goodwill Industries”, the name for Brooklyn’s workshop, was preferable to the Morgan Memorial name. Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries was created. Along with Brooklyn's interest and ties, this became the foundation on which Goodwill Industries was to be built as an international movement. https://books.google.com/books?id=CRAvAAAAMAAJ In 1999, George Kessinger, the head of Goodwill of Orange County during this time, started shopgoodwill.org. https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurendebter/2021/02/25/goodwill-online-website-hits-1-billion-sales/
