Hills Project Update

Just a reminder that AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers will be working in Hills this Saturday to remove the city's sandbags. In May, before the height of this summer's flooding, the city came together to construct a floodwall--fortunately, the area was spared of any major damage.

Several volunteer groups will be assisting us this weekend, but we're looking for more hands to help us. We'll be tackling both the east side and north side sandbag walls, and will continue working in Hills on Tuesday the 19th if the job isn't finished this Saturday.

If you have any questions about the project, or are interested in volunteering, call our United Way of Johnson County Volunteer Center at 319-337-8657 or e-mail us at vols@unitedwayjc.org.
