Our mission is to make purposeful employment possible for all.
Goodwill of Central Iowa always has and always will exist because of its mission of providing jobs and job training opportunities to people facing barriers to employment. We believe everybody should have the opportunity to achieve independence through employment, no matter what barrier you might be facing.
By shopping at one of our central Iowa locations or online, you support Goodwill’s ability to operate (while finding great stuff for yourself and others).
