In order for our business to thrive for more than 50 years, it has required innovation. Goodwill has been guided by the motto "necessity is the mother of invention".
Goodwill Industries of Northeast Iowa, Inc. provides services to persons with disadvantages and/or disabilities. The lions' share of its operations is supported through the processing of tax-deductible donations received from the general public living in the 22 Northeast Iowa counties of Iowa.
Our Goodwill agency was established in 1960 with headquarters in Waterloo, Iowa.
OUR MISSION: To help people overcome barriers to independence.
The mission of Goodwill is simply stated in such a way as to recognize the global barriers that may face an individual at home, in the community and in particular within their own physical and/or intellectual impairments and challenges.
Our goal is to assist those we serve to achieve maximum independence. We recognize the potential of every individual regardless of physical limitations, intellectual impairment or socioeconomic barrier. The barriers to independence can only be removed when the majority of us are committed to that goal and are given a clearly defined role. Goodwill Industries of Northeast Iowa, Inc. celebrates its heritage as an Iowa based organization. The people of our Midwest region are rugged individuals, grateful for their own life conditions and always willing to share in making the lives of others better. Together, we are making our region a better place to call home.
