Help Brighten a Veteran's Holiday Season! 

This year, we're honored to invite you to participate in the 23rd annual Adopt A Vet initiative, a heartfelt way to give back to the heroes at the Iowa Veterans Home. 

Here’s how you can get involved:

Pick Up a Star: Visit any of our participating locations and pick up a veteran’s wish. Locations include:

Iowa Veterans Affairs - Marshall County Annex Building

Fulfill the Wish: Purchase the gift, place it in a gift bag (for ease of opening), and return it to the same location where you picked up your veteran's star by December 8th.

Join the Christmas Celebration: After all gifts are collected, we’ll come together at the Iowa Veterans Home on December 15th at 6:30 pm to spread holiday cheer, honor our veterans, and enjoy a festive holiday gathering.

If you'd like to help but can’t adopt a vet in person, you can send a financial donation for veteran gifts to MCBD, 34 W. Main Street, Marshalltown, IA 50158 (please note "Adopt A Vet" in the memo).

Let’s make this season special for those who’ve served us so selflessly. Thank you for your kindness and support!
