NAMIWalks Greater Mississippi Valley

02/25/2025

Happy Birthday, NAMI Greater Mississippi Valley! NAMI GMV was officially incorporated as a non-profit in Iowa in February 1982, though the organization was formed a few years before then. So we count February 1982 as our "official" birthday, and we celebrate 43 years of helping families in our eight-county service area in eastern Iowa and Western Illinois this month. Pictured are scenes from NAMIWalks 2024.
