~ New Project ~

If you have a youth group and you would like them to do a community project please consider helping us with our Holiday 2008 project.  We need kids to hand out "shopping lists" at local stores for customers to donate items towards our gift boxes.  Please email us at IowasBravest@IowasBravest.org for more details.  If you have an extra 4 hours on a Saturday that's all it takes to make a huge contribution for our troops.  We can help you get it organized.
