In September 2023, Goodwill SOLAC changed its legal name with California Secretary of State from Goodwill Serving the People of Southern Los Angeles County to Goodwill Southern Los Angeles County. Goodwill SOLAC heritage dates back to 1902 when the Reverend Edgar J. Helms placed into action his vision of helping people transition from dependency to self-sufficiency through work and career development services. Reverend Helms' vision lives on today in 155 community-based, autonomous organizations in the United States and Canada, with a presence in 12 other countries. To meet the needs of local communities, each local Goodwill organization designs its own programs and services to help people find work near where they live. Goodwill SOLAC was established in 1929 in response to the great depression, which brought an increased focus to the thousands of people out of work and to people with disabilities. In 1945, Goodwill SOLAC responded to GI's returning from World War II to train, find jobs, and assimilate these veterans back into a peacetime economy. Today, Goodwill SOLAC serves individuals with barriers to employment in a highly populated, culturally diverse, and growing community. Goodwill SOLAC's main facility is located at 800 W.
