Our History

Goodwill Industries has a rich, 50-plus-year history of serving Lane and South Coast County residents.

Begun in 1954 as a joint venture between the Eugene Rotary and the Eugene Women's League, Goodwill opened its first retail store in 1958, and was incorporated in 1968.

In 2007, Goodwill employed 331 individuals and provided services to 1,159 individuals.

With six retail training centers in Lane County, Goodwill was embraced by the North Bend Community as we opened the doors of our seventh retail training center in November of 2004.

Goodwill continues to lead the way in providing vocational opportunities for individuals with barriers to employment.
