Hey Van Meter! We are excited to announce we have a Van Meter Life App! This app includes a business directory, Community Calendar, Community deals(discounts, specials) and some links to our website. I recorded a short video to show you how to download the app, and a quick overview of the app itself. If you know of any other businesses that you think should be on here please let us know. We hope you enjoy!

Hey Van Meter! Don't forget to give us your input on what we should name our new trail!

With Phase 1 of our trail getting close to completion we would like some feedback from the community on what we should name our trail. One day this trail will connect all areas of Van Meter and beyond that it will connect us to our neighboring communities.

Hello Van Meter!

This last week it came to our attention that some of our flag subscribers received an email saying that their credit card had(or soon will) expire and asked them to add an updated credit card to their account.

Unfortunately, when people tried to do this they received some kind of error and were not able to make this update.

We have since fixed this issue so you should now be able to log into your account and update your payment information if needed.

Thank you for your patience as we worked on fixing this issue.

Hey Van Meter! I don’t normally get excited about writing checks, but today I am! We are excited to announce that VMCDC dropped off a check to city hall for just under $17,500. This payment was for our share of the cost for the new sidewalks at the intersection of Hazel and Arlington as well as the new sidewalk by the high school softball field. We would like to thank the Van Meter Schools and the City of Van Meter for partnering with us for these projects!

Big ThankYou to everyone’s generosity over the years supporting VMCDC! Thanks to your donations and support we are now able to continue having these types of projects each summer for the foreseeable future!

If you would like to help decide what sidewalks and trails project we work on next, or to learn about the other exciting ideas we have planned please join us next Tuesday at Van Meter Health at 6:30 for our next quarterly meeting.

Why “The Goose”? 🪿☕🍦

When we started thinking of a name for our ice cream and coffee shop, we wanted a name that represented more than just a place to grab a treat.

Geese are strong, confident, and loyal creatures. They do what they want with style. They travel together, protect one another, and understand the importance of community. They show up, support each other, and know that we’re stronger when we stick together.

That’s the heart behind The Goose — a place built around connection, community, and creating a welcoming spot where everyone feels like they belong.

We can’t wait to share coffee, ice cream, and plenty of memories with all of you. 🪿Come join the flock at the The Goose - Ice Cream & Coffee Shopon Friday July 24th at 3:00 p.m!🤍
