Healing the Heartland

Watershed is partnering with Serve the City and other area organizations to serve our community at the "Healing the Heartland" festival coming up Jun 12 - 14. We will be helping primarily with the Friday night BBQ at Taylor School (720 7th Ave SW in Cedar Rapids).

Watershed will be helping out in two separate events. The first will be on Saturday, June 6th. We will meet at Taylor School at 9:45am and deliver fliers in the Taylor neighborhood. We should be done with this activity by 11:30am.

The second event is the BBQ itself on Friday, Jun 12th. We will be helping at Taylor from 4:00pm - 9:00pm. Our areas of service will include cooking, serving food, and just mingling with others there. If you're not able to stay for the full time, feel free to sign up for whatever part you can be there.

We also have two specific requests for the event on Jun 12th: we need someone with a pickup truck to pick up our food and supplies at River of Life at 3:45pm and bring them to Taylor. We also need someone to be the DJ for the evening -- someone with a good selection of uplifting music and who likes putting together inspiring playlists.

We are looking for as many volunteers as possible for both of these activities. If you can help, please sign up by contacting Joe Clark. Thanks!
