Help IGC support texans
Paying it forward
The winter storm in the south has impacted millions of Texans. They need supplies urgently!
Iowa Giving Crew wants to return the favor after Texans helped us during the Derecho. We are working to raise $10,000 as quickly as we can to send much needed relief and supplies to Texas. We have worked out the logistics and identified partner organizations in Texas that we are sending support to. We need your help to pay it forward.
Welcome
Iowa Giving Crew started as a group of friends from the Cedar Rapids area who banded together to do some good in our local communities.
Our Mission:
Raising funds and marshaling resources within our collective networks to serve those in need throughout our community.
Looking back at 2020
With the support of our gracious donors, here is a sample of what we were able to accomplish in 2020:
- 75+ vehicle "thank you" parade for first responders helping battle Covid
- Provided educational games and materials for kids in need while they were at home due to school closures
- Funded emergency food needs for Olivet Neighborhood Mission during Covid
- Purchased sanitation supplies for Willis Dady due to increased needs because of Covid
- Donated relaxation items for nurses helping battle Covid
- Funded, built, and delivered 95 beds to kids in need
- Funded and served 1,000s of warm meals immediately after the derecho
- Funded 58 homes to get their electrical turned back on after the derecho

In 2021, Iowa Giving Crew will continue to help our community out however we can. We are actively planning on ways to do that. Hopefully in 2021 there won't be as many challenges to deal with. However, we will be ready to help out if there are. With the continued support from all of you, people know we will be there when needed.
