CalmWater Financial Group® was honored to welcome six incredible veterans participating in Warrior Expeditions as they made their way across America on bicycles along the historic Cowboy Trail. Their remarkable journey, stretching from the East Coast to the West Coast, is a testament to resilience, determination, and the healing power of adventure.
During their stay, the veterans joined our community in celebrating our nation's 250th Independence Day. They were warmly welcomed throughout the festivities, proudly marched in the Fourth of July parade, and were recognized at several community events in appreciation of their service and their inspiring cross-country mission.
Hosting these veterans was a privilege for the CalmWater Financial Group team. Their stories of perseverance, sacrifice, and camaraderie served as a powerful reminder of the courage and commitment demonstrated by those who have served our country.
Warrior Expeditions provides outdoor expeditions for veterans as a way to support their transition from military to civilian life, promoting personal growth, recovery, and connection through long-distance adventures.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to these six veterans for allowing us to be a small part of their extraordinary journey. It was an honor to celebrate this historic Independence Day alongside them, and we wish them continued success and safe travels as they completed their ride to the West Coast.

At a time when it can feel hard to get outside, to find connection ...

CalmWater Cares was proud to donate six large boxes of diapers to the Norfolk Public Schools Sixpence Program this week!

The Sixpence Family Facilitators partner with families who are expecting or have children up to age 3, recognizing that parents are a child’s very first and most important teachers. In 2020, they launched a year‑round diaper drive to support families in our community who may need a little extra help from time to time.

Their diaper drive runs 52 weeks a year, and families can access diapers whenever needed by contacting the Norfolk Sixpence Program directly.

We’re grateful for the work Sixpence does and are honored to support their mission to help local families thrive. 💙🍼

CalmWater Financial Group® recently made a donation to Good Neighbors of Norfolk and its partner organization, the Angel Fund. Their shared mission of serving others has a meaningful and lasting impact on the Norfolk community.
After speaking with Executive Director Allene Johnson, it’s clear that her heart and passion are fully devoted to helping those in need. Her commitment shines through in the work Good Neighbors does every day.

Founded more than 50 years ago, Good Neighbors operates solely on donations and provides year-round support and emergency assistance to individuals and families facing difficult circumstances. Their services include help with rent, utilities, food, diapers, and clothing. The food pantry alone serves an estimated 50 to 75 local families each week.

Good Neighbors also partners with Honey-Du-o, a free handyman service started by Chuck Foxhoven and Jim Spanel. This program supports low-income, fixed-income, and elderly residents throughout Northeast Nebraska by providing essential home repairs and services.

If you’re interested in making a financial contribution or volunteering your time, Good Neighbors and the Angel Fund are always grateful for community support. They are located at 132 S. 4th Street in Norfolk and can be reached at 402-644-8155.
