Goodwill North Central Texas

Follow

From the beginning, Goodwill’s mission has promoted job creation for the disenfranchised. Founded by Methodist Minister Edgar J. Helms in 1902, Goodwill gave people with disabilities and other social barriers the opportunity to find meaningful work. Goodwill allowed the disadvantaged to earn a wage by repairing and repurposing discarded household items and then selling them back to the community at affordable prices. Following that model, Goodwill North Central Texas was founded in 1949. By giving underserved people in Tarrant County and surrounding areas the job training they need to achieve maximum independence, Goodwill is a hand up, not a hand out.

National Multiple Sclerosis Society

Follow

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society was founded in 1946 by Sylvia Lawry, a young woman searching for answers after her brother was diagnosed with MS. At a time when almost no research or support existed for the disease, Lawry placed a small newspaper ad seeking anyone who had recovered from MS — and the overwhelming response inspired her to create an organization dedicated to finding a cure. Today, the Society continues to expand its impact, reaching communities across the country and accelerating progress toward a world free of MS.

World Vision USA

World Vision is an independent private Christian organization that holds faith in Jesus Christ as central to our identity, motivation, and calling to serve communities in need. It all started in 1947, when founder Bob Pierce, when gave the last $5 in his pocket to a missionary orphanage for the care of an abandoned Chinese girl. Since Bob founded World Vision more than 70 years ago, we have gone places others would not, and done tasks others could not. Today, we continue to work in the places where it is hardest to be a child because we believe that is where we are needed most.
