Our Commitment to Iowa’s families

For over 50 years, Four Oaks Family and Children’s Services has been dedicated to meeting the needs of Iowa’s children, families, and communities. From the beginning, our founders were determined to create opportunities that help children and families succeed. Today, that commitment remains at the heart of our mission.

Every child and family that comes to Four Oaks has a unique story. Their experiences, backgrounds, traditions, and perspectives shape who they are, and understanding those differences allows us to offer thoughtful, effective support tailored to each individual.

We believe that for children and families to thrive, we must work to create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Challenges such as economic instability, physical and mental health concerns, and limited access to resources can often stand in the way. At Four Oaks, we are committed to helping families overcome these barriers by providing the tools and support they need to create meaningful change that lasts for generations.
