Goodwill was originally named Goodwill of Tucson, founded in 1967 by minister Dale Dunbar. Goodwill gained its non-profit status as well as becoming a corporation on September 19, 1969. The organization officially became Goodwill® Industries of Southern Arizona on September 27th, 1994. Goodwill® moved to its Cherrybell facility in 1975, where it still operates today.

OUR PROGRAMS

In 1969, Goodwill® opened its program doors to provide adults with severe disabilities a place to work. Participants in the Morse Business Center assisted the local business community with helping to create packaging for auto parts, computing equipment, and assembling medical items. As contracts dwindled, Goodwill® transitioned participants over to work within our E-commerce departments. Participants started by processing donated books in preparation for online sales as well as working in our retail stores.

In the early 2000s, we opened Job Connection Centers in our retail thrift stores to provide a place where people seeking employment could have access to resources and training.
