In 1902, Edgar J. Helms, a Methodist minister, founded the first Goodwill in Boston. This was the start of Goodwill BridgePointe Services, Inc. has been evolving for almost 80 years and that evolution is
It was 1930 when Helen K. Barth and Rev. William Bartle saw a need in our community and formed Southern Indiana’s first Goodwill store. The store was located in downtown New Albany in the former YMCA building. Years later in 1961, the Jeffersonville Rotary Club met the community's challenge to raise $10,000 to create the Southeastern Indiana Rehabilitation Center. This center first served children and adults with disabilities through services including speech therapy, hearing testing, medical clinics, physical therapy, psychological testing and preschool classes.
Industries of Southern Indiana, Inc. The agency grew its operations to include additional services and increased its Goodwill presence to 11 stores in Southern Indiana. In 2008, the agency decided to "Embrace Our Goodwill Roots" and changed our name to Goodwill BridgePointe Services, Inc. This change reflects the growth of the organization and the support that our 11 Goodwill stores provide the organization. Throughout our existence, we have strived to fill the needs in our community and provide vital services to children and adults with disabilities and disadvantages. These services now include Employment Resources, the Children's Learning Center (formerly the Children's Academy), Goodwill BridgePointe Stores, Family Support Services, Recycling Efforts and a Voucher Program. Collaborations include SIRH at Goodwill BridgePointe Services and the Southern Indiana Autism Resource Center in partnership with Rauch, Inc.
