Volunteer Spotlight: Vern

Vern volunteers as an electrician at ReStore, testing and repairing electrical donations before they are merchandised. He began volunteering at ReStore 18 years ago, when his daughter partnered with Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity to become a homeowner.

He likes volunteering at ReStore because of the impact of his work: "I enjoy being able to fix things so they can be used by people who need them, and they don't have to be sent to the landfill." He also appreciates the camaraderie provided by volunteering: "Our group of people who work every Wednesday have been together for several years and we have become good friends. I look forward to seeing them every week."

Thank you for your service, Vern!

Alliant Energy to support Habitat homeowners

Alliant Energy has announced a plan to build a community solar garden in Cedar Rapids, which will allow the company's electric customers to benefit from solar power without installing solar panels on their own property. As part of this initiative, Alliant has pledged to donate up to $400,000 in solar blocks from the garden to Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity homeowners. These solar blocks will provide monthly credits on Habitat homeowners' energy bills over the course of their Habitat mortgages. Thank you, Alliant Energy, for this wonderful gift to our families!
