Goodwill of Central Iowa putting a pause on donations

The organization said its stores and warehouses have become full from an outpouring of support from donors.

DES MOINES, Iowa — If you're planning to donate some items to Goodwill of Central Iowa this weekend, you'll need to hold off.

The organization posted on Facebook that its donation doors are temporarily closed at all locations starting Friday.

"Over the past few weeks we have had an outpouring of support from donors, which has caused our stores and warehouse to reach full capacity," the post reads.

This week our Summer Youth Work Readiness Program participants dove ... into another facet of our retail stores: donations and processing. Participants learned the process for accepting donations, sorting donations, and pricing them. This training introduced participants to the customer service aspect of retail, which is essential to mastering at any retail job!

Retail stores are still open, Goodwill said. To find a location near you, click here.

They said they look forward to accepting donations again in the future.
