Description
In 1895, Crittenton Center (Florence Crittenton Home) opened its doors with a single mission: to serve vulnerable children, individuals, and families with compassion, care, and hope. One hundred and thirty years later, that mission is alive and thriving- and now, we're inviting YOU to be part of the celebration.
Introducing our 130th Anniversary Celebration- a Gatsby-era, speakeasy-style soiree that celebrates where we've come from, who we are today, and the exciting future we're building together.

Why Gatsby?
The Gatsby era was one of reinvention, ambition, and bold dreams- values that mirror Crittenton Center's journey since 1895. We've evolved, adapted, and expanded our services, always keeping the well-being of Iowa's children and families at heart. Our 130th celebration isn't just a party- it's a toast to resilience, to legacy, and to what's next.
