Hello and Happy March! 🌷

The first two months of 2026 have been dedicated to reorganizing, strategic planning, and thoughtfully evaluating how we can move forward in a way that truly connects with and serves our community. And let me just say — the impact we’re preparing to make in 2026 is BIG.

As we step into this next season, we’re looking for local professionals and community members who are willing to volunteer their time and talents to help us make a meaningful difference.

We are currently seeking:

• Mental Health Professionals
• Participant Mentors
• Business Leaders & Retired Professionals
• Homework Helpers for Children
• Teen Leadership Facilitators
• Donation Sorting & Organizing Volunteers
• Event Support Volunteers

Community volunteers are the heart of what makes our nonprofit thrive and operate at full capacity. Your time, experience, and willingness to serve can change lives.

If you’re interested or would like more information, please reach out to Bree Garrison at (319) 431-9072.

Let’s make 2026 a year of real connection and lasting impact. 🤍

It is with saddened hearts that our VP Aironi has had to step down for personal reasons. We wish her and her family nothing but the best in California as she takes on a big responsibility when moving there. Please send her and her family well wishes as they take on this new adventure.

With that being said, we will have an open position on the board so please keep your eyes out for an update!

Good morning! I wanted to post a reminder to everyone. Let Love Lead Iowa is not an organization that provides food. We did this to help with a situation beyond all of our control. However, we are returning our focus back to our purpose and mission, which is helping individuals heal holistically and help them gain the skills needed to obtain housing security and sustainability. Thank you to all of the organizations for your support during this time as we were able to feed a lot of families. It was such a blessing as an organization.

🌟 New Blog Post: Beyond Shelter – What True Support for the Unhoused Really Looks Like 🌟

At Let Love Lead Iowa, we believe that ending homelessness goes far beyond providing a roof. True support means walking beside individuals as they rebuild stability — addressing mental health, employment readiness, financial literacy, and emotional healing. 💛

In our latest blog, we explore what real, lasting change looks like when we focus on compassion, connection, and community-driven solutions.

Today was a beautiful day of giving! ❤️
Let Love Lead Iowa was able to provide hot meals to 23 individuals in need — thanks to the incredible generosity of Longhorn Steakhouse in Waterloo, Iowa! 🍽️

We’re hoping to continue doing this once a week throughout the SNAP shutdown, but we can’t do it alone — we need our community’s help to keep the meals coming and the bellies full.

Every donation, partnership, and share helps us reach more people in need. 💛
