Midwest Family Lending has chosen to support Van Meter Public Library Foundation in the month of July and we encourage you to as well.
The Van Meter Public Library Foundation spearheads major fund-raising campaigns to bridge the gap caused by the growing needs of Van Meter’s aging library and shrinking municipal budgets. The Van Meter Library’s strategic plan is to construct a new library building, replacing the 1,100 square foot of space in use since 1980. We secured a grant for a library planning consultant to help us assess the needs of our growing community and determine our needs for a future space. With the critical role libraries play in communities, it is essential to increase public awareness and support of the value, impact, and services that are provided by investing in the future of our library.
The Foundation is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, volunteer group of local citizens dedicated to soliciting and managing funds for charitable purposes for the growth and enhancement of the Van Meter Public Library program for all members of the community.
The Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization. Its stated purpose is to raise money to enhance the Van Meter Library and programming it has to offer all children, teens and adults of our community. The Foundation’s fund-raising efforts are supported through contributions from individuals and businesses in the community.
Because transformation is essential to the community we serve.
