Did You Know?

The Greater Iowa City Area Home Builders Association Home Show attracts thousands of homeowners looking for contractors for their home improvement and remodeling projects. 

Urban Acres sponsors a booth at the Home Show with a charitable theme that changes each year. In the past several years, the event has benefitted CommUnity Crisis Services and Food Bank, Friends of the Animal Center Foundation, Systems Unlimited, and Houses into Homes. Previous exhibits have included a giant coloring book and a magnetic build-your-own dream home. For some attendees, stopping by the Urban Acres Home Show booth is their first exposure to a community organization and a great opportunity to learn more about that organization’s mission.
