What knocks us down only makes us stronger.

On July 19, 2018, Marshalltown was in the direct path of one of 21 tornados that rolled through Iowa. It was a shining example of how when crisis hit us, we got right back up, reached out to our neighbors, and began a rebuild. As destructive as it was, we accomplished something incredible — a stronger, more united, more vibrant community of families that have each other’s backs.
