    Iowa Giving Crew Provides Initial Funding to PATCH Program

     In collaborative effort the United Way of East Central Iowa, Metro Catholic Outreach, Willis Dady Homeless Services, Waypoint, Marion Cares, Helping Hands Ministry, Family Promise of Linn County, Linn County General Assistance, HACAP, City of Cedar Rapids and the Salvation Army  have created  the Providing Assistance to Community Homeowners (PATCH) program, which utilizes community organizations and volunteers to help homeowners with short-term home repairs. 


    The Iowa Giving Crew has stepped in to help fund the system. After hearing about PATCH and other post-derecho work, the organization committed to be a part of the solution.


    Iowa Giving Crew will invest $40,000 they have raised for derecho-related needs into the project, along with UWECI’s $60,000 contribution. Having $100,000 to seed the collaboration will increase the ability for more individuals to be served.


    These nonprofit collaborations not only help fill gaps in the community, but also provide a greater understanding of gaps that need to be filled in the future.

    Those interested in the rent utility program can call 319-366-7999 to see if they qualify.

    COVID-19 Response

    COVID-19 Response

    Iowa Giving Crew decided early on in the pandemic we wanted to do something to help. We donated money to Olivet Neighborhood Mission, supplies to Willis Dady, as well as games, books, and flashcards to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Corridor. In addition to these steps we have already taken, we are looking at other ways we can make a positive impact on our community during this crisis. If you would like to help out, please donate money via venmo with a note "COVID-19 Response" and we will allocate 100% of those funds to our COVID-19 response.
