Hope for the Holidays

Donation drive for HOPE for Stable Families

This holiday season, United Way of Central Iowa is collecting household cleaning products, gift cards, and essential items like diapers and baby wipes for families in need. These families are part of HOPE for Stable Families, a program that helps central Iowa families set goals, remove barriers, and achieve long-term financial stability.

Your contributions can make a meaningful difference in their lives. Join us in bringing support and hope to families this holiday season.
