🌟 Thank You, Volunteers! 🌟
A huge thank you to the 25 volunteers who helped clean up downtown! Together, you logged over 70 hours and collected more than 20 bags of trash and debris.
Because of you, our downtown is cleaner, brighter, and ready to welcome the warm temps and all the happy faces.
We’re also proud to be part of the Keep Iowa Beautiful Pick-Up Iowa effort working toward 2,500 volunteers and 2,500 bags collected statewide!
We truly appreciate your time and dedication—thank you!
