Golden Rule Industries of Muskogee, Inc. was founded on January 15, 1953, as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency by Rev. Mark Burbridge, Tams Bixby, Jr., and Jim Egan. From the beginning, these founders recognized a critical need: helping adults with disabilities access meaningful employment opportunities.

In 1963, Golden Rule became affiliated with Goodwill of America — a partnership that lasted until 1999, when Golden Rule resumed operations under its original name. Today, more than 70 years later, Golden Rule remains deeply committed to its mission and the individuals it serves.

Golden Rule’s mission is fulfilled by providing resources, support, and employment opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities. Our goal is to help individuals lead productive, fulfilling lives while pursuing meaningful work aligned with their personal goals.

WHY GOLDEN RULE MATTERS

For many individuals, finding stable employment can feel out of reach. Golden Rule Jobs bridges that gap by meeting people where they are and helping them move forward — one job, one skill, and one opportunity at a time.

When you support Golden Rule Jobs, you’re not just supporting a business — you’re investing in people and strengthening the community.
