Community Impact
The continued support from the Winterset Community and from others throughout the country (YES - the COUNTRY!) has allowed these families to give back to a community they love so dearly. We will be announcing our 2023 plans for giving back to the community soon! In the meantime, below are some of the ways we've been able to give back since our organization was established.
