Community Generosity in Action! ❀️

We are so grateful to share that Guiding Star Marshalltown has received $1,000 in support of Aggie's Closet!

A heartfelt thank-you to Rusty Feldman, Financial Advisor with Sentinel Financial Group, and his Administrative Assistant, Elaine Johnson, for their time and efforts in helping make this support possible.

We are also incredibly thankful to the LI Fortunaires Club and Charitable Foundation, Inc., which contributed $500, and Collective Financial Group, which contributed an additional $500.

These generous contributions will help us stock Aggie's Closet with essential items such as diapers, wipes, baby wash, bottles, diaper cream, and other necessities for the mothers, babies, and families we serve.

For families facing financial hardship, these everyday essentials can make a meaningful difference. Through Aggie's Closet, we strive to ensure families in our community have access to the supplies they need to care for their little ones with dignity and confidence.

Rusty and Elaine, thank you for championing our mission and helping connect our organization with those who want to make a difference. And thank you to both organizations for investing in the well-being of local families!

Together, we are making a difference, one family at a time. ✨

"We have attended every year this event has been put on. It was very healing for me to be able to see others who had experienced the loss we had and be able to stand and support one another by just being together. Up until 2 years ago I was never able to bury anything of Ava and Isaiah’s but I am so glad I did because it helped heal even more. I have made a new friend at every gathering and been able to stand beside woman like me and that is also very healing for me."
-YE

We would like to invite anyone who has been touched by the loss of a child to attend "Too Beatutiful for Earth" Infant Loss and Memorial Service, on October 15th at 5:30PM, and Center School Cemetery.

This event is open to the public, and includes a short service honoring little ones lost too soon. Attendees are encouraged to bring a small memory, such as a note, hospital bracelet, or photo to be placed in a casket that will be buried following the service. πŸ’“

This event is held each year, and made possible by Micthell Family Funeral home, who so graciously allows this event to be held at thier Cemetery in Marshalltown, IA. The service is planned and lead by Jenny Butler, and Lindi Trowbridge, who have suffered loss themsleves, and volunteer to provide this healing opportinity for others.

We are honored to be hosting this event once again, we encourage all to attend.πŸ‚

A look into Aggie's Closet...

When you visit Aggie's Closet one of our volunteers will get you signed in (or signed up!), and walk you back.

If you have a little one with you they are welcome to join you in the closet, or a volunteer might want to hold your infant and steal some baby snuggles so you can shop!

You are free to browse all of our items ranging from baby clothes, diaper cream, diapers, bottles, maternity clothes, to cribs and more. We have all kinds of essential items on hand for mom and baby.

Once you're ready, a volunteer will finish up paperwork, bag your items and help you to the door. You will also be given a card that tells you the exact day you can come back (every four weeks).

We are blessed to be able to provide this service for families in our area. Every mom needs a little extra help now and then, and that is exactly the need Aggie's Closet provides. πŸ’•

Visit Guiding Star Marshalltown Monday through Thursday 10AM - 4PM.

Located at 2501 S Center St. STE. M Marshalltown, IA 50158.

We are so sad to share that we have made the difficult decision to cancel our Comfort Station at Oktemberfest today due to the rain. πŸŒ§οΈπŸ’”

This was not an easy decision, but the safety and well-being of our staff and volunteers will always come first. We are incredibly disappointed that we won’t be able to be there to serve and support families as we had planned.

For those of you who are braving the weather and still heading out to enjoy the festivities, we hope you have an amazing time! We know how much time, hard work, and heart goes into making Oktemberfest such a wonderful community event.

Thank you for understanding and for supporting Guiding Star Marshalltown. We’ll miss seeing you today, but we’ll see you next year! ❀️✨

Will you be at Oktemberfest with your little ones?

Stop by our FREE Mother's Comfort Station Tent when it's time for a break! Located on the Main Street side of the courthouse in the vendor section.

We will have a comfortable area for mothers to nurse or bottle feed their babies, and a diaper changing station, all in a cool, shaded spot for the whole family to rest.

We are proud to be apart of Oktemberfest once again and to offer this much needed resource to the community!

We hope to see you there!
