In the late 1890’s, a Methodist minister in Boston started searching for ways to help immigrants. His name was Edgar J. Helms. Edgar Helms began by collecting unwanted household items. He hired immigrants to repair and refinish them. He then sold the items and used the money to pay the workers. This system worked well and so the Goodwill method of self-help was officially founded in 1902, offering skill based training programs and job placement services.
In April 1921, Reverend John E. Martin of the First Methodist Church in Berkley, MI founded Goodwill Industries of Greater Detroit. Goodwill Detroit’s founder sought to provide employment for elderly and physically disabled residents by creating a place to repair and sell donated items. Over the years, services evolved to meet the times’ needs, but Goodwill Detroit remained steadfast to providing quality services to the community’s most vulnerable members and merged with the League for the Handicapped.

The camera arrived in a decent amount of time. It was packed with care. It arrived looking as described with all the accessories. However, once I put the batteries in although it turned on, sadly, the shutter didn’t work. It cannot take pictures due to a broken shutter. I reached out to the seller a couple of times but no response. I filed a defective item return with eBay. I was happy to find out it was a free return. That’s great customer service right there.

Was going to leave negative: they do not respond to messages at all, don’t expect to hear from them. Wanted to combine shipping since they OFFER it but nope. However, I ordered two games (as described and pictured) except one came with the manual (despite no mentioning). So the communication and shipping sucks, but I did get a nice bonus (and the price was good).
