Holly Boerhave

Community Volunteer

Holly, like many others, saw a need for masks for healthcare workers and essential service personnel as supplies grew short during the COVID-19 pandemic. Holly said she has been blessed with the ability to sew and she is grateful to use this skill to help out in anyway she can. She has put in 57 hours making 61 face masks, most of them are the Olson Mask pattern.

She has given them to Bartels Lutheran Retirement Community, her Home Instead Senior Clients, her family and to a friend that's been making masks for Bremer County nurses. She also made 41+ mask extenders and has given the great majority of these mask extenders to Bartels employees!

Volunteer Impact

Watch the video below about the impact of volunteers in the lives of youth! Volunteers are a critical part of community organizations, especially for The Job Foundation. The Job Foundation is one of our Service Enterprise Certified organizations who strategically leverage volunteers to help achieve their mission!

Community Engagement

Pack The Dome: Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service 2020

On January 20, community leaders, students, youth, families, businesses, and more gathered together in the UNI-Dome to pack 48,000 bags of food for the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. Roughly 1,600 volunteers worked alongside each other in assembly lines making an impact!
Together
Together our community came to one location to indirectly serve those impacted by food insecurity. This is what the Cedar Valley will be known for - the impact we make not only in one day, but in the daily lives of those in our community!
Presented by the following organizations; Northeast Iowa Food Bank, University of Northern Iowa's Office of Community Engagement, Service and Leadership Council, and Panther Pantry, along with the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley. Sponsored by the following organizations; John Deere and UAW 838.
