Children & Families of Iowa

Hello! We are students at Ankeny Centennial High School. While researching charitable causes for a leadership project, we discovered the good that could be done during the holidays in our community.

This holiday season, we are on a mission to bring joy and hope to the children at our local Domestic Violence shelter, Children and Families of Iowa. These families have faced unimaginable challenges, and we want to give them a reason to smile and feel the season's warmth. Your generous gofundme contributions will help us provide gifts, meals, and special activities that can create lasting, positive memories. With your help, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives and show them that they are cherished and supported by their community. Please join us in spreading holiday cheer and making this season truly magical for these deserving kids.

If you're interested in donating physical gifts such as books, clothes, toys, etc., please reach out to our team members to coordinate a convenient time and location for drop-off. All donations will be delivered to the shelter on Tuesday, December 17th, so be sure not to miss it!

Thank you! Sincerely, the girls at Centennial!
