Make a Difference Today ✨

This ongoing initiative provides compassionate direct aid and emergency support to vulnerable families and individuals facing crisis right here in the Quad Cities. Through this program, we deliver practical help such as essential household items, temporary assistance with basic needs, and personalized encouragement to strengthen family stability during difficult times. By investing in local Iowa families, we are building stronger, more resilient communities across the Quad Cities region. Small acts of kindness and coordinated support can make a lasting difference — ensuring no family in Iowa faces challenges alone. We are committed to expanding this initiative so we can reach and support even more families in Iowa. Your donations and volunteer involvement help us grow our capacity to serve more people right here in the Quad Cities.

The Kindness Wall, is a one-day interactive public art experience designed to spark joy, connection, and compassion. We will set up a portable art station in a high-traffic public area, where children, families, and passersby can create kindness cards filled with messages of hope and encouragement. All of the cards will be collected and delivered to children facing cancer in local hospitals, turning a simple creative act into something deeply meaningful. Participants will receive small treats as a thank-you, and additional treats will be included for the children in the hospital. This project creates a shared moment of giving and creativity, reaching as many people as possible in the community. The Kindness Wall transforms art into compassion, spreading kindness to participants and directly to children who need encouragement and joy the most.

Women facing violence, economic hardship, health challenges, or sudden life disruptions often struggle to keep themselves and their families safe and stable. The Women's Economic Stability & Safety Program provides immediate relief and long-term support to help women regain security, independence, and opportunity. The program addresses urgent needs through emergency housing support, safety planning for women leaving abusive situations, rent and utility assistance to prevent homelessness, access to healthcare and mental health services, childcare support, and job training or education that strengthens long-term financial independence. By stabilizing women during times of crisis and helping them build sustainable pathways forward, this initiative strengthens families, promotes economic mobility, and empowers women to lead healthy, secure, and productive lives. All donations are made to OpportunityToServe, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
