Goodwill of the Great Plains is a nonprofit organization focused on fostering independence through work, training, and community support. It offers job training, employment placement services, and other community-based programs for people facing barriers to employment, including those with disabilities or limited education or work experience. The organization funds these efforts through the sale of donated clothing and household items at stores and online, as well as through commercial services, grants, and private giving. Operating from a center in Sioux City, Iowa, it serves a Midwest region spanning about 500 miles from Rapid City, South Dakota to Mason City, Iowa, with more than twenty locations across South Dakota, Northwest Iowa, Northeast Nebraska, and Southwest Minnesota. As part of a broader Goodwill network, it is one of 163 independent agencies serving the United States and internationally. In January 2025, it announced the opening of a new retail location in Sioux Center, Iowa, signaling ongoing regional expansion.
