“United We stand”
Our continued efforts through projects allows us to support our service member families!
Project Homebound for Heroes
A New project for the 2024 Season is our Project “Homebound for Heroes.” This is a project that supports our active duty, reserves, veterans, and gold star families who have found themselves needing assistance to move from point A to point B. At this time, we can only support a move within state lines, but this project will help ease the burdens of financial costs to pack and move your belongings. Please contact us if you find yourself in this situation and we can evaluate what is the best fit for you and your family.

Local Egg Hunt Donation, April 2023
This year we donated 4 baskets to the Gowrie, IA community easter egg hunt. I grew up attending this egg hunt, so it holds a special place in my memory bank. There are many members of our community with children who currently serve and/or are veterans so I am thankful to have this opportunity to give back.
Project Elf, December 2022
This Christmas we were able to adopt 20+ children through an event called “Project Elf” to provide Christmas to those in need. Presents for the children and gift cards for meals and gas were all part of the donation. All families who received gifts live in Iowa and currently serve with the IA National Guard. We absolutely loved this event!
