In response to the flooding disaster in eastern Iowa, the Kirkwood Community College Foundation has established two charitable funds to aid in recovery. The funds are in response to many offers of assistance.
The “Friends of the Animal Shelter Fund” will receive contributions from the public to assist with the costs of caring for rescued pets, and the “Kirkwood Community College Flood Relief Fund” will accept gifts from Kirkwood friends to provide aid to students and employees adversely affected by flooding in the seven county region.
Gifts may be made online by visiting www.kirkwood.edu or they may be mailed to The Kirkwood Foundation, 307 Mansfield Center, PO Box 2068, Cedar Rapids, IA 52406-2068.
For more information, please visit the college Web site or call at (319) 398-4943.
