Title:Goodwill Retail Stores   -   http://www.goodwillcolumbus.org
Description:Goodwill Industries was founded in 1902 by Reverend Edgar James Helms, a Methodist minister in Boston, who was seeking ways to help residents in the city's impoverished South End. Helms collected used clothing and household goods in wealthier areas of the city, and then trained and hired poor people and immigrants to repair the used goods. The donations were resold or given to the people who repaired them. The system worked, and the Goodwill philosophy of "a hand up, not a hand out" was born.
