ANAWIM WELCOMES STUDENTS BACK ON FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
Anawim staffers joined members of our community to welcome kids and teachers back for their first day of school at the annual Clap In at King Elementary in Des Moines!

This was a fun way to greet and encourage the kids in our community where so many Anawim Housing families live, work and attend school. Anawim wishes you all a wonderful start to the year.
