Helping Make Families Whole
We provide the resources and support families need to

Back-to-School Backpack Program
Purchasing school supplies every fall can strain already-tight budgets. Each year our Back-to-School Backpack Program provides more than 700 students in kindergarten through high school with brand-new backpacks filled with supplies.
Christmas Assistance
Christmastime can put an extra financial burden on families, which is why we help more than 3,600 people in north central Iowa with Christmas assistance, including toys and food, each year. We are the only agency in the nine-county area that offers this kind of assistance during the holiday season.
Pathway of Hope
The goal of Pathway of Hope is to guide families with children 18 years and younger through crisis and instability to a place of security in order to ultimately break the intergenerational cycle of poverty. We offer strengths-based casework, providing services such as:
- financial counseling and planning
- goal setting with manageable action steps
- job training, referrals and employment assistance
- assistance with securing housing and childcare
- emotional and spiritual support
Pathway of Hope works with people where they are, offering practical guidance to help families overcome obstacles and achieve their big-picture goals, one step at a time.
