Welcome

Welcome to the Goodwill Industries of Central Iowa website! We hope this space provides you with everything you need to learn about our organization. If this is your first time exploring Goodwill, you may find there is more to our organization than you thought.

But, we are much more than the 17 retail stores situated around the center of the state. In fact, our stores are just the beginning of our story. That’s because the income they generate is used to support our job training and education programs in Central Iowa.
