Our amazing receptionists at our Support Center are an essential part of our team! They effectively communicate with the public and are fantastic at their jobs! Brian has been working at the reception desk and been in the Pre-Vocational Training Program for a little over a year. He is an excellent addition to the receptionist team!

Jack-Bear Country USA

What I like about my job at Bear Country USA is the animals are very entertaining to watch. This job gives me the chance to hug a bear eventually. I will have more opportunities to interact with the animals when taking care of them during the winter.

Outlet Center is expanding hours!

We are excited to announce that the Goodwill Outlet Center will be expanding it’s hours of operation!

Starting October 21, 2020, the Outlet Center will be open Wednesday-Saturday from 10am to 8pm.

The Goodwill Outlet Center is located at 3100 W. 4th St., Sioux City, IA next to our retail store. We invite the community to come out and experience the thrill of the hunt. You can expect to find deep discounts by buying items by the pound (with the exception of furniture, electronics and large items).

The outlet store allows Goodwill to give a second chance to items that do not sell in our stores. This helps Goodwill further decrease contribution to landfills and maximizes every donation. Goodwill makes every effort to recycle items that do not sell through our retail program.
