Title: FA Moves Into New Programming Space

Our main office moved into our new programming hub, marking an exciting milestone for our organization and the community we serve.

This new space represents much more than a new location. It is an opportunity to create an environment that better supports our programs, strengthens connections, and meets the unique needs of our core members and staff. Through thoughtful renovations and careful planning, we have transformed it into a welcoming, functional, and inspiring hub where meaningful experiences, collaboration, and growth can flourish in a fully accessible environment.

Making this vision a reality would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of our supporters. Thanks to everyone who contributed to our
Ark-itects Capital Campaign, we were able to bring this exciting project to life. Every gift played a valuable role in helping us create a space designed with our community in mind. We are deeply grateful to the individuals, families, and supporters who believed in this vision and helped make it possible.

As we settle into our new home, we look forward to all the opportunities this space will bring. From supporting our daily programming to creating new opportunities for connection and engagement, our programming hub will serve as an important foundation for the work we do and the community we continue to build together.

We look forward to seeing you soon and welcoming you to our new programming hub at 4803 Lincoln Way, Ames IA  50014-3632!

While we have been able to move ahead with the rennovations and move into our new space, the project is not not yet fully funded and fundraising for Phase 2, the recreation hub, is just beginning. Learn more about the ongoing campaign below.
