Goodwill awarded $50,000 Missouri River Historical Development grant to help cover Mission Services Center construction costs

Goodwill was one of 26 organizations to receive grant money

Goodwill of the Great Plains was awarded a $50,000 Missouri River Historical Development Impact Match Grant during a ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 24th at the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center in Sioux City.

The money will go toward the construction of Goodwill’s new Mission Services Center, a more than 20,000-sq-ft, state-of-the-art net zero building.

The first-of-its-kind in the area, the new building will use solar panels and geothermal heating and cooling technology and be the new home of Goodwill’s Sioux City Job Center and Integrated Day Services, both programs that help adults gain more rewarding and independent lives.

The Mission Services Center is currently being built across the street from Goodwill’s main Support Center on W. 4th St. in Sioux City.

During the ceremony, Missouri River Historical Development awarded grants to 26 organizations, totaling $1.25 million, narrowed down from a list of 44 applicants.
