1. Grocery Support for Kinship Caregivers — $200
Two relatives are currently caring for three siblings due to their mother experiencing homelessness. With increased grocery and daily care costs, we are hoping to secure two $100 grocery gift cards — one for Walmart and one for Hy-Vee — to help support these households while longer-term resources are put in place.

2. Rent Support for Family with Young Children — $600
A local family with a newborn and preschooler is $600 short of their $1,700 March rent after an unexpected loss of income. They were able to secure $1,100 but need help covering the remaining balance to maintain housing stability.

3. Tires for Reliable Transportation — $250
A parent recently purchased a used vehicle to get to work and transport her child to school. The vehicle currently has snow tires, and she is hoping to raise $250 for all-season tires for her 2015 Ford Fusion SE as winter ends.

4. Phone Service for a Working Single Mom
A single mom working about 20 hours a week recently had a few slow weeks at work and fell behind on bills. Her phone service has been shut off, making it difficult to stay connected to work and important appointments. Support will help restore this essential service.
