Goodwill Industries of Orange County California

Founded by Rev. Edgar James Helms in Boston in 1902, Goodwill's heritage of good works has endured for over a century. Goodwill of Orange County began helping people to help themselves in 1924. Led by Rev. John Winterbourne, Goodwill of Orange County began operations in Santa Ana. In 1932, Goodwill of Orange County was incorporated as an independent organization. Goodwill's mission has grown to an international movement, improving the quality of life for people with disabilities. Goodwill of Orange County envisions a world where all individuals with disabilities and other barriers will have the opportunity to participate in a full range of life's experiences, including competitive employment. In support of this vision, we will maintain leadership in creating and providing quality education, training, and employment services to empower individuals to be productive and independent, based on their abilities and interest.
