Iowa Nonprofit Launches Innovative RAGBRAI Fundraiser
April 14, 2015
Global Compassion Network, an Iowa nonprofit most known for their Safe T Home® (a Sukup grain
bin turned into housing for needy families in Haiti) will be building a Safe T Home® along the
RAGBRAI route this year. Overnight towns: Sioux City, Storm Lake, Fort Dodge, Eldora, Cedar Falls,
Hiawatha, Coralville- July 19-25, 2015.
They are currently requesting help from churches and businesses in each of the overnight towns to
host their Safe T Home on their property and provide water hookup. They need a big enough space
for their Safe T Home, a camper, a truck and trailer, a couple tents, etc. This could be a great way for
a local business to draw more attention to their store.
They also need 15 volunteers in each overnight town to set up and take down the Safe T Home and
to help run a portable shower as a donation-based fundraiser.
For location suggestions, please contact Julie Anderson at 712-887-0150 or
[email protected]. Volunteers should email Mary Graham at [email protected] to express
their interest in helping.
