In partnership with United Ways of Iowa and Operation: New View in Dubuque, the Foster Grandparent Program will be reinstated in Dubuque, Jackson and Delaware Counties.
This unique program brings together needy children and limited-income, loving retired adults, all of whom are enriched by new relationships.
Your gifts to United Way provided $13,567 as local match in order for United Ways of Iowa to secure funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service to support foster grandparent programs across the state.
The yearly stipends Iowa seniors receive total about $750,000, including more than $100,000 locally.
