Description

EveryStep, formerly known as HCI Care Services & Visiting Nurse Services of Iowa, has been offering care and support for Iowans for many decades.

Our roots date back to 1908, when a group of nurses saw the need for public health nursing in Des Moines and founded an organization to fulfill that mission.

Since then, EveryStep has led the charge to address a wide variety of vital community health care and social service needs, offering prenatal support and home visits to new moms, assistance to immigrants and refugees, compassionate hospice and home care services, and grief and loss support.

Today, EveryStep has a strong reputation and a long history of serving vulnerable populations to help them live their best lives. Today, the non-profit’s 30 plus programs, more than 370 employees and nearly 900 volunteers offer care and support to Iowans in 47 counties.

Amanda the Panda breaks down the gift box process into steps and I was the delivery step. Other volunteers had purchased the gifts, organized the list, created the boxes, and organized pickup. They made my step easy. My son and I delivered our box to a nice man on the east side. We knew someone had nominated him for a box and he had lost his wife, but the rest of the process is anonymous. It was meaningful to him, we connected to him one-to-one, and we felt we made a difference to him just before Thanksgiving.
