Little Village issue 346: November 2025
Comical levels of villainy have been unleashed in 2025, but it’s easier than ever to be a hero: just care about something. In this issue,Little Village offersa guide to dozens of Iowa nonprofits doing on-the-ground, in-the-community work to feed, house, clothe, protect, empower, educate and entertain Iowans when the world needs them most. Along with the Nonprofit Give Guide, you can find a spread of gift ideas from local retailers; an article exploring the effect of paper tariffs on a small Iowa comic book publisher and game store; and — we’re way too excited about this —an original board game in the centerfold!
Your charitable gifts support freely accessible, independent reporting on Iowa news, culture and events.
Plus, read interviews with: the African American Museum of Iowa’s executive director, a songwriter that rose to fame on Mexican reality TV and a filmmaker from the Quad Cities making a splash in documentaries. Also in this issue: A free and easy way to help fight nitrate pollution in Iowa, tons of album and book reviews, Dear Kiki and more.
