Give Today

Raising a family is difficult even in the best circumstances. Imagine if you didn’t have the basic resources or support to meet your child’s day-to-day needs. Many parents aren’t prepared for the challenges of raising a family and need assistance to stay on the right track. Despite the challenges, YPN families are full of hope and are determined to create a promising future for their children. Your financial support powers the programs that help make their dreams a reality.

Your contribution makes a great impact and allows YPN to Support, Educate, and Empower families in our community. An impact that will be felt for generations to come.

Give JOY this holiday season!

We invite you to join us this holiday season as we prepare to GIVE JOY to hundreds of families during our Holiday Shopping event. Every year we collect brand new, unwrapped toys appropriate for children ages 0-5, from late October through the first week of December. These toys and learning games are then sorted by age and parents who have regularly attended our prenatal and parenting groups or home visits consistently through the year. They also get stockings and stuffers, and our volunteer elves help to wrap the gifts, so they are ready for Christmas morning.

This annual event is our way to bring JOY to both parents and children for their dedication to being the best they can be, and the commitment that they make all throughout the year. We truly can’t do this event without the support of corporate donors and individuals who host toy drives, purchase or donate funds, or shop our Amazon Wish List and have items shipped to us. Thank you for helping us to GIVE JOY this holiday season!

Eastern Iowa Diaper Bank

Eastern Iowa Health Center and YPN serve children and families on a daily basis. The majority of those served are low-income families and both organizations saw a common need: Diapers. So simple, yet so important. Together, they formed the Eastern Iowa Diaper Bank. Your donation helps provide diapers and wipes to families in need.
