Each year, Iowa County facilitates and organizes the "Holiday Project" in an effort to ensure that those in need are assisted during this festive time of year. The County supports the Holiday Project by accepting donations and coordinating community groups that provide presents, meals, and other services.
This coordinated effort developed a few years ago when several groups got together and decided that the many organizations in Iowa County were all serving similar people. Coordinating community efforts has let to a more efficient provision of services, reduced overlap, and greater confidence that those in need were getting the proper assistance.
The Holiday Project is managed out of the Iowa County Social Services Department. If you or an organization you belong to wants to help with the Holiday Project, please contact Tom Slaney Tom.Slaney@iowacounty.org.
