Customers will have a special limited-time opportunity to shop for one-of-a-kind Father’s Day gift ideas found only at the pop-up shop. A vintage Minnesota Vikings cooler, Mickey and Minnie Mouse Vans, and a stunning wooden deer clock are a few of the exciting gifts available for Dad. New gift ideas will be added throughout the day, and we are encouraging customers to shop early and often for the best selection.

Sweet Treats by K&B will be providing amazing food and refreshments for lunch from 11am-2pm. Items on the menu include: pulled pork sandwiches, funnel cake fries, and chicken strips.

“We are looking forward to giving our customers a unique shopping experience just in time for Father’s Day. We have many gifts perfect for any Dad donated by our wonderful donors, and we want to give our customers the best selection this Father’s Day”, Vickie, Sioux City Store Manager, explains.

Goodwill invites the community to shop at this special pop-up shop and help support Goodwill’s mission of helping individuals overcome obstacles to employment and achieve competitive employment.

In case of rain, the pop-up shop will be moved indoors, and customers will be given the chance to shop amazing Father’s Day gifts inside of our retail store.

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.

Goodwill’s contactless donation drop off guidelines:

• Hours: Monday-Saturday 11am to 7pm and Sunday 10am to 6pm (Closed Memorial Day)
• Please pre-sort items. All clothing can be placed together in a box or bag and all other household items can be grouped together.
• One person at a time. Please be patient as you may need to wait in line.
• You unload donations yourself. Place your pre-sorted items in each bin, either “Clothing Donations” or all other items will go in “Wares Donations”.
• If you need a receipt, ask the donation attendant at time of donation.
• Please practice social distancing at all times.

Thank you for your continued support to Goodwill!
