Falling on National Volunteer Week, a major focus for Do Good Days this year is volunteerism.  SHARE Iowa, an initiative of the Community Foundation for Western Iowa, provided online educational opportunities for nonprofits and presented the second annual “Do-Gooder of the Year” award.  All nonprofit organizations participating on the SHARE Iowa platform were encouraged to nominate their volunteers or “Do-Gooders” of the year.  Share My Smile nominated Ruth Kreger for the award.

Join us for a lunch and learn Thursday, April 25 from 11:30 - 1:00 hosted by the Community Foundation for Western Iowa with speaker Dr. AnnMarie Marlier.
