We are looking for volunteers to help keep our facility grounds looking their best by assisting with mowing and basic outdoor maintenance. This is a great opportunity to support our mission while helping create a welcoming environment for our clients and visitors.

NEICAC moved to its current location in October 2025. The office provides a variety of programs to help families in need, including the Bremer County Food Pantry, heating assistance program and crisis assistance program. We do not have any regular staff for building maintenance. A great need is to have a team power wash the one-story building and clean out the gutters. It is unknown when either was done. We have an electric hookup and hose connection, but do not have any equipment for this project. The gutters have vegetation growing out of them. This could be completed any time of the day. 

Pulling weeds, trimming bushes, cleaning raised beds

The NEICAC Bremer County Food Pantry serves on average 160-170 households a month. This project would be to host a drive for food items (non-perishable) and non-food items such as paper products, diapers, and personal care items. 

Volunteers provide their own materials. 

This volunteer opportunity is off site.
