Quakerdale offers a support service called "Circle of Caring" for adoptive and foster parents in the Iowa counties we serve. Quakerdale is a private, not-for-profit family and children's social service agency in Iowa that was founded in 1851. Facilities are located at Manning, Marshalltown, Newton, New Providence, and Waterloo, Iowa.

Services are based on the philosophy that youth and families have resources within themselves to make changes. Our responsibility is to help them identify those resources and to apply them in ways that will enhance their lives and help them to become productive citizens.
