We recently kicked off a new partnership with Eyerly Ball Community Mental Health Services providing Individual Placement and Support (IPS) services. IPS is an evidence-based model of Supported Employment that empowers people living with mental illnesses, substance abuse disorders, and other disabilities, to work at a job they choose and enjoy.

We're Making Purposeful Employment Possible For All.
About us
At Goodwill of Central Iowa, we believe everyone is worthy and deserves the opportunity to thrive through the power of employment, regardless of the barriers they face. While you might know us for our retail stores, we’re more than just a place for great deals—we provide job training programs that improve our community and inspire hope. Goodwill’s retail division is comprised of a network of retail stores and an outlet store in the 22 counties we serve in central Iowa. Profits from these retail stores, as well as donor contributions, fund Goodwill’s highly successful programs in workforce development. We help people find the tools to succeed at work and in life. Our mission is to make purposeful employment possible for all.

We recently had the opportunity to partner with Grand View University to provide women's clothing donations for their Professional Clothing Closet hosted on campus. This event served over 150 students who often face barriers gaining access to appropriate attire for interviews, career fairs, professional events and the workplace. Special thanks to our headquarters and Altoona Attended Donation Center teams for going above and beyond to find, prepare and transport amazing donations to help this event become a success. We truly appreciate being able to work with the GV Career Center to make a positive impact in our community.
