Grinnell needs us now more than ever. After the devastating tornado, families are starting over — many with nothing left. 💔

With the help of GNWKCF we’ve created the "Neighbors Helping Neighbors" Fund, led by GP3 (Grinnell Promoting Pride & Progress), to provide immediate help and long-term support to those impacted.

Over 700 volunteers showed up yesterday to help with cleanup — a powerful reminder of what makes Gove County so special.

Now we invite YOU to take the next step.
👉 Donate today and help lighten the burden for our neighbors.
