The Helms Society

The Helms Society is named in honor of Reverend Edgar J. Helms, who founded Goodwill in 1895 in Boston’s South End. We remain committed to his vision of helping individuals with barriers to self-sufficiency to achieve independence and dignity through work.

Membership in the Helms Society begins at $500. There are various benefits based on your giving level.

For additional information contact the Philanthropy Department at 617-541-1404.
