Thank you all so much for attending the official launch of Thrive Iowa of Buena Vista County during our launch event on Monday! We are so fortunate to have such a caring group of individuals doing great things in our communities. While we celebrate this moment we also recognize that there are families in our communities who are struggling in one or more care areas, and with your help we can provide the tools to bring them out of crisis and get them to thrive.

We are still feeling the excitement and gratitude from Monday's official launch! We were overwhelmed by the turnout, the enthusiasm in the room, and the incredible response we've received in the days since.

THANK YOU to everyone who showed up, supported this vision, and helped us celebrate this important milestone. A special thank you to our outstanding speakers, who each brought such meaningful perspectives, encouragement, and reminders of why this work matters. Your words inspired us and reinforced the power of a community working together.

While Monday was a celebration of how far we've come, it was also a reminder that this is just the beginning.

The success of Thrive Iowa doesn't belong to one organization, one program, or one person. It belongs to all of us. It will take continued collaboration, a willingness to listen, and a shared commitment to ensuring individuals and families in Buena Vista County have the connections and opportunities they need to thrive.

Now, let's keep the momentum going!

Thank you to the City of Storm Lake and everyone who joined us for yesterday’s official launch of Thrive Iowa of Buena Vista County and to the many individuals and organizations who have helped bring this vision to life!

We are incredibly grateful to live and work in a community that believes in the power of collaboration and the importance of showing up for one another. Yesterday was a celebration of how far we've come, but even more importantly, a reminder of what we can accomplish together.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of something meaningful for Buena Vista County.

We are excited to officially launch Thrive Iowa of Buena Vista County, a community-led initiative built on a simple but powerful belief: when we work together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of families.

Every family deserves to feel supported, connected, and hopeful about their future. Yet, sometimes finding the right resources can feel overwhelming, especially when facing multiple challenges at once. Thrive Iowa is about changing that by bringing our community together, strengthening connections between organizations, and making sure families don't have to navigate difficult seasons alone.

This launch is more than a celebration. It represents a commitment to working differently, building stronger relationships, closing gaps in support, and creating a community where families can move from crisis toward stability and a brighter future.

Thank you to the partners, organizations, and community members who have helped bring this vision to life. We are just getting started, and we are excited for what we can accomplish together.

We hope to see you there!
