When it comes to supporting local non-profits, there might not be an easier and more impactful program than Kwik Care.

If you're not aware, Kwik Care has helped raise both funds and awareness for local nonprofits. Each month, Kwik Stop and Dairy Queen help collect donations for a different organization. Donations can be made easily by requesting your total purchase at any of those businesses (including at the gas pumps at Kwik Stop) be rounded up to the nearest dollar. The additional cents used to round up will be donated to the respective charity of the month.

The Kwik Care recipient for the month of May is Mary's Inn Maternity Home in Dubuque. Mary's Inn is a maternity home dedicated to the physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of single, pregnant mothers and their developing babies, per the organization's flyer.

Heather Hamm of Kwik Stop and Colleen Pasnik of Mary's Inn stopped by to chat about everything that Mary's Inn does for mothers who seek out their services. Mary's Inn is capable of housing four single, pregnant mothers at a time, not only providing them with a safe play to live, but also access to helpful classes. These classes range from money management and budgeting to child care and tips on how to care for a newborn.
