AmeriCorps VISTA has coordinated a sandbag removal event with the city of Hills, located about eight miles south of Iowa City. The Hills community came together in June to build a floodwall along the east and north sides of town--fortunately, they were spared from any flooding. Since then, however, the city has been unable to remove the sandbags.
That's where we need your help.
On Saturday, August 16 and Tuesday, August 19, volunteers will be working in Hills to remove the sandbags. We will begin at around 8:30 AM and work through lunch; snacks and beverages will be provided both days.
If you're interested in volunteering--or would like to learn more about the event--please contact our United Way of Johnson County Volunteer Center at 319-337-8657 or e-mail us at vols@unitedwayjc.org.
Please refer to the below map for driving directions from the Iowa City area to Hills. The city is located just off of Hwy. 218, eight miles south of Iowa City.
