Its New Ankeny 2 Retail Store and Donation Center
Ankeny, Iowa — Goodwill of Central Iowa is proud to announce the opening of its second Ankeny retail store and donation center located at 1205 SE 16th Ct, Suite 200, Ankeny, Iowa 50021. This additional location is a meaningful expansion for our organization and our mission, and it will operate alongside the original Ankeny store. Both locations will continue to serve the community, reflecting our ongoing commitment to growth, inclusion, and sustainability in Central Iowa.
Growing In the Ankeny community and continuing to create new opportunities
The opening of our second Ankeny store allows us to broaden our reach within a rapidly growing community. With more space, more convenience, and more opportunities to give and shop, this expansion strengthens our ability to provide life-changing programs that support individuals facing barriers to employment. Every donation and every purchase at our stores directly contributes to funding job training, skill development, and employment services that help people build confidence, stability, and long-term independence.
We are deeply grateful to the Ankeny community for its continued support. The growth of Goodwill in this area is possible because of the generosity of donors, the loyalty of shoppers, and the shared belief in creating a more inclusive workforce. The expansion is not just about opening another retail location. It is about increasing the impact we can make together by offering more pathways for people to access meaningful work and sustainable opportunity.
