Thank you, SRO Kloster, for all of your hard work helping make National Night Out a success and for taking the time to attend the grand opening of the Willow Hope Center and Cait’s Voice Foundation on Saturday!

Update: These adorable bears and baskets found homes with two local kiddos. Winners have been notified. Thank you for stopping by to see us last evening!🙏

🚒The Willow Hope Center and Cait’s Voice Foundation will be attending National Night Out August 4th from 4-7pm in Leon, Iowa.

Our team will be set up on the town square. We hope you stop by with questions, and to learn more about our mission, resources, and community partnerships.

We'll also have goodies to hand out, and every child who visits can enter to win one of our two Kids' Comfort & Calm Giveaway Baskets which includes:

🧸 Lavender-scented Warmies® weighted plush
📖 A Little SPOT of Emotion children's book: a fun, interactive children's book that helps kids identify, understand, and talk about their emotions.
🎨 Coloring & activity book with crayons
🛁 Lavender Epsom salt bath soak

Did you know? Research suggests that weighted comfort items can help children feel calmer and more secure. Combined with gentle warmth and the soothing scent of lavender, many families find these comforting companions helpful during bedtime routines, stressful moments, therapy sessions, or while working through big emotions.

Cannot wait to meet you!

“Why this mission?”
“Why this town?”
