IOWA, WE NEED YOU!
We’re getting ready for our annual Holiday Care Package Project, and we need your help adding a little extra love from home to every box we send!
We’re asking individuals, families, classrooms, scout troops, church groups, senior living communities, businesses, and organizations all across Iowa to send us cards, handwritten notes, and colored pictures to tuck inside our care packages.
And we’re making it easy! 🖍️❤️ We’ve put together 100 FREE coloring pages for all ages, divided into five easy-to-browse PDF files. You can find them here:

Print a few or print a bunch, add some color and a message, and send them our way. Feel free to share the coloring pages with others, too!
Every card, every note, and every picture is a little reminder that someone is thinking of the service member or veteran who opens that box. Whether they’re deployed, serving away from home and family, or a veteran who could use a reminder that they are remembered, we want every box to carry a whole lot of love from Iowa.
Year after year, Iowans show up for our military community, and we’re so grateful. This mission belongs to all of us, and every card, picture, donation, and helping hand reminds us just how much Iowa cares for those who serve and have served.
📬 Mail your creations to:

Thank you, Iowa, for always rallying around this mission and helping us fill every box with a little piece of home and a whole lot of love. ❤️🤍💙
