Our Child Welfare Social Workers (CWW) City Serve Team fired up the grill at River Place in Des Moines to celebrate National Foster Care Month with an appreciation BBQ for the incredible social workers who serve our communities every day. We were proud to serve more than 70 dedicated professionals who are truly in the trenches supporting Iowa’s children and families. Attendees also had a chance to take home fresh flower centerpieces through a special drawing – just a small way to say thank you. We are deeply grateful for the compassion, resilience, and commitment these workers bring to Polk County and across Iowa. Their impact does not go unnoticed.
