More Canvassing Updates

AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers, working in partnership with the United Way of Johnson County, distributed 200 flyers to neighborhoods in Iowa City and Coralville today. The Glendale Road neighborhood of Iowa City and the 14th Avenue neighborhood of Coralville were targeted today.

(AmeriCorps VISTAs Dan Babb, Natasha Robin, and Britney Tonning work to remove sandbags on July 12 in Coralville.)

Also, nearly a dozen businesses along Hwy. 6 in Coralville agreed to notify employees of volunteer opportunities or place flyers in store windows or employee break rooms.

On Saturday, July 26, volunteers will be working in the Normandy and Manor Drive neighborhood of Iowa City to remove sandbags from area homes or along the Iowa River. Those interested in volunteering should check in at our tent on the corner of Normandy and Manor Drive. For more information, please call our United Way Volunteer Center at 319-337-8657 or e-mail us here.
