It's getting to be that time of the year again. With the upcoming great give day hosted by the City of Dubuque and the community foundation of greater dubuque, scheduled for May 21 2025, we are asking for help and support from friends and followers for some planned updates to our infrastructure here at the home.

We are currently planning a facelift, and update to one of our main walk in cooler areas, and are looking to earmark some funding to help us along in the project. The current equipment we have is out of date, and relies on obsolete, and aged technology. The refrigerant system has been found to use coolant that is no longer able to be easily sourced, and there is a wasteful aspect of the water cooling jacket that is currently burning through 1.8 gallons of water a minute to keep the motor chilled.

If you, or someone you know, may be interested in helping to support us in this upcoming venture, all donations would be so greatly appreciated, not only by our administration, but also by the residents who call Mount Pleasant Home, their Home, and the community members who partake in our food pantry options as well.

Follow the link posted below to find our page on the Great Give Day page. thanks for your time and consideration in this matter.

We have had quite an eventful week here on the grounds of Mount Pleasant Home. We have been spending the week actively celebrating our 150th anniversary. We have had many visitors to the home in the past week or so. Descendants of the family who provided our current location to the organization, the sheep who are currently grazing the back half of the property that was recently sold to Habitat for Humanity, and visits from the Telegraph Herald who has written this beautiful article about the home and the program we have to offer.

On Tuesday evening, we hosted a Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate our 150th accomplishment, followed by an after hours meet and greet event and hors d'oeuvres hour.

To conclude our events for the week, we would gladly invite you to stop by Mount Pleasant Home, located at 1695 Mount Pleasant Street, for an open invite ice cream social event. The event will take place beginning at 12 noon on Saturday, July 20, to end approximately around 4 pm. We will have entertainment in the form of a 12 piece Americana band from 12-2, and ice cream, light snacks, and refreshments will be provided throughout the day. There will also be a free to enter raffle, with prizes available. Seating will be limited, so we suggest you bring your lawn chairs, blankets, or other seating options to enjoy the music, and events on the lawn.

We hope that you can find the time to stop by for a brief visit, or to spend the day with us here at our home, to learn the history, and help to support the future of our program here.

For Great Give Day, which is May 15, 2024, please consider donating to our fundraiser. We are looking to source funds in order to purchase materials to build a retaining wall so that we can level the ground and create an all-inclusive accessible area to build an elaborate, locally constructed, endure-the-years picnic table for our residents and the community-at-large to enjoy.
