SIOUX CITY, IA (November 10, 2026) – Delta Dental of Iowa awarded a $50,000 gift to Boys and Girls Home and Family Services, Inc. to support the completion of the Ginny Peterson Behavioral Health Campus, a new facility designed to expand access to mental health services and provide a more home-like environment for clients.
The contribution supports the organization’s $13.5 million capital campaign, which is nearing completion. The new campus replaces an aging facility and provides thoughtfully designed spaces that better support the behavioral health and educational needs of children and families.
In addition to opening more modern facilities and expanding access to care, Boys and Girls Home will also expand educational programming, hands-on vocational experiences, and community partnerships to help young people build skills for long-term success.
“All children and families should have access to mental health services that improve overall well-being,” said April Schmaltz, president and CEO of Delta Dental of Iowa. “Boys and Girls Home is making exceptional strides to expand life changing services for their community. We are proud to play a small role in this impactful project.”
