The Marshalltown United for Ukraine group has been working hard for the last year to bring refugee families to Marshalltown.  Marshalltown is a unique community that is almost set up to be a refugee spot.  The school has a great English as a Second Language program

That’s City Councilor Mike Ladehoff, who has been a core member of the group since the beginning.  He goes on to talk about how our community can create a safety net

Right now the biggest need for the group is people power.  From being a host sponsor to even just taking a family to the grocery store.  You can reach out to St. Francis Catholic Church or Hope United Methodist Church to find ways you can volunteer to help.
