A heartfelt thank you to the Buchanan County Community Foundation and the Northeast Iowa Community Foundation for awarding grant funding to support Operation Threshold–Buchanan County. 💙

These funds will help strengthen two important programs serving our local community: our Crisis Utility Assistance Program, which helps low-income households experiencing unexpected utility hardships, and Operation Santa Claus, which has provided holiday assistance to children throughout Buchanan County for over 50 years.. 🎄

We are grateful for your continued investment in Buchanan County and for helping us provide support where it is needed most. Partnerships like these truly make a difference in the lives of our neighbors!
