Martha’s House of Hope receives grant funds from Ames Home Builders Association In January 2020, Martha’s House of Hope was the recipient of a $650 grant from the Ames Home Builders Association to purchase CPR training manikins. This provided funds for Martha’s House of Hope to purchase one set of CPR manikins for volunteers and residents to use to complete CPR training. This purchase al-
lows Martha’s House of Hope (MHOH) to do all volunteer training
in-house so that volunteers can begin serving the needs of our
residents, as MHOH’s executive director is certified by the American Red Cross to facilitate First Aid, CPR, and AED training. It also allows MHOH to train its residents on CPR so they have this skill as new parents. Martha’s House of Hope is a maternity home in Ames. The organization’s goal is to provide shelter, life skills and hope
to pregnant mothers and their babies while helping to impart selfreliance, a sense of service and the realization of their God-given dignity. To learn more about the organization, visit www.marthashouseofhope.org. Martha’s House of Hope is grateful to the Ames Home Builders Association for its financial support.

issues; and even allows the user to build a “ballot” of candidate preferences that can be taken to the polls on election day. This year, League of Women Voters of Ames and Story County has invited all of the candidates from two contested primary races in Story County to provide input to the
VOTE411 voter guide. Those races include the Story County Board of Supervisors and the Iowa Senate District 24. The League of Ames and Story County is also sponsoring two online forums for the candidates in the two contested primary races. The fi rst forum will
include candidates for the Story County Board of Supervisors and will be at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 14. The second forum will be at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 21, and will feature primary candidates for State Senator District 24. For information and to register to
