Kennedy’s Closet Book & Toy Drive 🩷
In honor of Kennedy’s birthday month, her family is continuing a tradition that celebrates her love for children. Kennedy worked at a local daycare and had a special way of making little ones feel seen, loved, and safe. To honor her memory, we invite our community to support the children of The Lakin Foundation Child Development Center of East Mills through this year’s Book & Toy Drive.

📚How to Donate:
– Drop off new or gently used books and toys at Malvern Bank during the month of November
– Drop off at the Center by appointment
– Or bring items to the Open House & Ribbon Cutting on November 15th at 4:00pm

🎁 Online Wish Lists:

Lakeshore Learning Wish List: https://www.lakeshorelearning.com/my-shoppinglist-page/gl1113952155/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=share_link&utm_campaign=shoppinglist

Monetary donations are also welcome. Please make checks payable to East Mills Child Care Solutions and note “Kennedy Haley” in the memo line. Funds may be mailed to PO Box 421, Malvern, IA 51551 or dropped off at Malvern Bank. All funds are set aside specifically for books and toys for children.

Thank you for helping keep Kennedy’s joy, kindness, and big heart shining in our community. 🩷

📣 Exciting News! 📣

We’re happy to announce the launch of a brand-new page dedicated to center-specific updates — from the countdown to opening day, to ongoing operations once the Center is up and running! 🎉

This new page is managed directly by the Center and will become the main source for the latest news, events, and information.

While this page (EMCCS) will remain active, updates here will gradually shift to focus more on oversight as the Center becomes fully operational.

We encourage all interested families, staff, and community members to like and follow the new page to stay connected and informed! 💚🤍

Stay tuned — exciting things are ahead!
