This holiday the Cedar Falls/Waterloo Iowa Secularists would like to collect items for the following charities: Shoes That Fit, Toys for Tots
Please plan to bring any items you wish to donate to our house between 4-6pm on Sunday, Dec 14. I’d like to print out the IS logo and tie it to the items with holiday ribbons. Then, at 6:00 we will take everything to a drop-off site and go out to eat together. We can determine where depending on the interest of those in attendance.
Additionally, in the same spirit of giving – the UNI Freethinkers and Inquirers are sponsoring a local family for the holiday season and is asking if anyone in the IS meet-up group is interested in participating in this as well. More information is coming from Cody.
