Grant Wood community… THANK YOU!
THANK YOU! We appreciate every person who came together a couple of weekends ago, for the cause of helping the Grant Wood community. We hoped that this day would help form and deepen relationships between neighbors…. whether you’re a Grant Wood neighbor, or a neighbor from another part of the community - we’re all better off when “community happens”! We hope that these relationships continue, and we hope that a culture of “reclaiming roots” and helping others continues to grow… every day, not just on project days!
In total, 31 families were helped by 61 volunteers. 20 houses used the Hazardous Waste Trailer. Awesome! Thank you for your support.
Many thanks as well to every group who supported this day by helping plan, facilitate, or with financial support:
Grant Wood Neighborhood Association and Christine Harms
City of Iowa City Housing Authority
City of Iowa City Solid Waste Dept
Iowa Association of Realtors
MidAmerican Energy
Iowa Utilities Board
University of Iowa students and faculty
Infinity skin care and spa
Cafe del Sol Coffee Roasting
HyVee
We would also like to hear ANY feedback on how future events could be run more smoothly. We had a few snags in communication during the project, but hopefully the greater good was still accomplished. So, please pass back any thoughts, feedback, or general feelings of the overall day!
You can also check out pictures from the day!
We also hope you’ll be interested in supporting other areas of the community in the future, and continue to come together for the cause of others. We’ll keep you posted on next year’s events!
