AmeriCorps Helping ToGather-Together Project

Volunteers from AmeriCorps, the United Way of Johnson County, and the Johnson County Crisis Center are helping the ToGather-Together project this weekend. Volunteers are sorting clothing and school supplies for area students, and will be distributing them on Saturday from the Coralville United Methodist Church at 806 13th Avenue in Coralville. (See map below for details.)

According to the Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County, the ToGather-Together project is "community-wide effort to systematically collect and distribute back-to-school supplies so that every low income youth starts school with supplies. We believe that by pooling our efforts and resources, we will ensure that all needy children are reached and that no child is left behind."

For more information about how you can help with this project (or any other ongoing projects to help low-income families or flood victims), please contact our United Way Volunteer Center at 319-337-8657.
