Cultivating a neighborhood where families put down strong, healthy roots! 🌱🏡 We are so pleased to support the South Hill Neighborhood Association and their 2026 Community Events & Activities. From local festivals to park cleanups, these events are the vibrant leaves that make our neighborhoods feel like home.

By supporting the South Hill Neighborhood Association, we help strengthen the social fabric of our community, one street and one family at a time. 🌳🧡

We’re excited to see all the ways the South Hill community blossoms in 2026! 🌿☀️

Behind every strong, thriving branch in our community is a steady root system providing love, guidance, and strength. 🍃 Today, the Community Foundation of Des Moines County wishes a very Happy Father's Day to all the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, foster dads, and father figures across Des Moines County!

Like the deep roots of a mighty tree, fathers provide the foundation that helps our children weather life's storms and stand tall. Thank you for planting the seeds of kindness, resilience, and hard work in the next generation, and for helping our community's youngest sprouts grow into their full potential. 🌲✨

Planting seeds of comfort and care for our smallest sprouts! 🌱 We are so excited to highlight our support for Project Linus and their Fall Blanket Making drive. This incredible volunteer group makes and distributes homemade blankets to children in need, offering warmth and security during difficult times. 🤗💖

Each blanket is like a protective blanket of leaves, sheltering young branches as they grow. We’re honored to fund the materials that help these dedicated volunteers make such a difference in the lives of local kids. Keep making a difference, Project Linus! 🌿🍂

Freedom is a journey of deep roots, resilience, and collective growth. 🌱 Today, the Community Foundation of Des Moines County joins our neighbors in celebrating Juneteenth, commemorating the true end of slavery in the United States and honoring the profound strength, culture, and achievements of Black Americans.

Just like a mighty oak tree relies on its deepest roots to withstand the elements, our community draws its strength from acknowledging our history, uplifting every voice, and nurturing equity for all. True progress means creating a community ecosystem where every single branch has the resources, sunlight, and support to reach its full potential. 🌳✨

Today, we celebrate freedom, honor the ancestors who fought for it, and recommit ourselves to planting the seeds of a more just, inclusive, and flourishing Des Moines County. ❤️🖤💚

How is your family celebrating and reflecting today? Let us know in the comments! 👇🏾

A vibrant community is safe, artistic, and rooted in shared stories! 🌳 We are proud to have supported the Players Workshop Theater with a grant for a crucial Theatre Entrance Safety Railing. This project ensures that everyone—from veteran actors to first-time audience members—has a safe, stable passage to enjoy the magic of live theater. 🎟️✨

Just like we care for the roots of a tree to keep it stable, we fund the vital infrastructure that keeps our community safe and accessible. We can’t wait to see the next performance blossom on stage! 🌺🍃

Early childhood is when a child's roots take hold, shaping how they grow for the rest of their lives. 🌳 That’s why the Community Foundation of Des Moines County is honored to support Lutheran Services in Iowa (LSI) and their life-changing Early Childhood Services right here in DMC. From parent education to developmental support, LSI ensures that local families have a healthy, nurturing ecosystem where infants and toddlers can blossom. 🌸🍂

Thank you, LSI, for deeply rooting our community’s families in love, safety, and support! 🤗💚

You can’t grow a healthy canopy without nourishing the seeds of tomorrow! 🌱 We love partnering with Junior Achievement of the Heartland to bring vital Financial Literacy Education to students across Des Moines County. By teaching our youth how to budget, save, and understand the economy, JA is giving them the structural tools to weather any financial storm and grow into thriving, self-sufficient adults. 📈💰

Here's to planting the seeds of financial freedom and watching our students branch out to reach their full potential! 🌿✨

We are incredibly proud to partner with It Takes A Village (F.A.K.S.) and support their incredible Clothing Closet for Foster Children. By providing essentials to children and families navigating fostering, adoption, and kinship care, they ensure our youngest branches have everything they need to grow strong, stable, and warm. 🧥👚

It truly takes a village to nurture a community. Thank you for being such a vital part of ours! 💚
