Transforming Lives
Through the Power of Work
For more than a century, Goodwill Industries has been helping people unlock their potential through learning and the power of work.
Founded in 1902 in Boston, Massachusetts, by Reverend Dr. Edgar J. Helms, Goodwill has grown into one of the world’s largest and most respected nonprofit organizations, with more than 200 independent locations across the United States and in 12 countries around the globe.
Established in 1968 in Montgomery, Alabama, Goodwill Industries of Central Alabama (GICA) proudly carries forward that mission every day: “Transforming lives through the power of work.” As a CARF-accredited nonprofit, we’re dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities and others facing barriers to employment gain the skills, training, and confidence they need to succeed.
For over five decades, we’ve partnered with communities across Central Alabama to create brighter futures… one person, one job, one success story at a time. At Goodwill Industries of Central Alabama, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to work, thrive, and achieve their dreams.
