Needs List

Needs List
So many needs, where do we begin? Monetary donations are always welcome. Here is a list of other specific items we are currently in need of.


Visit our Contact Us page if you are interested in volunteering, or call 319-294-9706.


Because of space limitations, Families Helping Families is limited to the furniture donations it is able to accept. However, that doesn't mean the need for these items is any less urgent. If you have large items to donate, please contact Wendy Marner and she will contact possible homes for these items. Unfortunately this is a slower process than we prefer, but it is temporary until we find a new and larger location to house Love's Closet.

  • Our biggest need right now is a new location! We have outgrown the available space at our Benjamin Brace House and need a new location. Please contact Leanne Loehr.
