The Volunteer Center of Story County, Mid-Iowa Community Action (MICA) and Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) collaborated to winterize the homes of 41 residents in Story County. Volunteers applied plastic and caulk to windows, hung door sweeps and installed insulated electrical and light switch covers. The residents who benefit from this service are low-income, disabled or elderly residents in Story County. The 87 volunteers split up into 19 different groups and put in over 300 hours on Saturday, October 23, 2010. This "Make a Difference Day" project marks one of four Days of Service that the Volunteer Center helps to plan every year. The Volunteer Center wants to thank MICA and RSVP for all of their hard-work organizing this event. But we especially want to thank the volunteers who came out to make a difference in their community.
