HELP US GET ACROSS THE FINISH LINE 👟👟

💚 Why This Walk fundraiser Matters More Than Ever?💚

With recent cuts to mental health funding,and other cuts like SNAP, local programs like ours are being stretched at a time when the need has never been greater. People in our community and other communities we serve rely on our support services. The peers & community members we serve need to feel they are not alone on their mental health journey. These supports are vital to their success.

The 2025 NAMI Central Iowa Walk fundraiser fuels free support groups, classes, workshops, and other resources, such a food, clothing, ect. for those facing real challenges right now.

💚💜💚You Are Part of the Solution 💚💜💚

We’re deeply grateful for your support so far — every dollar raised has a direct impact.
Our goal is $25,000 and we have raised, $7,070 which is 28% of our goal. Click the link below ⬇️ with your generous contribution.

Special thank you to former board member, Ashley, and to Karly, a former staff member and volunteer who spearheaded this day. Your dedication, leadership and skillset is what made this day, possible.
Karly, wish you all the best in pursuing your nurse practitioner career. 💚
