About this event

Bring your own beverage, meat to grill along with a favorite dish to share. The grill will be fired up around 5:30.

 

Arrive early and sign up for many upcoming events, including:

The first order of EISC bike jerseys have arrived and will be available at the picnic. So much to see and do!  Hope to see you there!

Food Drive for the Catherine McAuley Center/Bring to the Spring Picnic
The Catherine McAuley Center provides immigration and refugee services and educational services for adult learners. They also have a transitional housing program for women in need.  

In March, Iowa lost 11.3 million dollars in Federal food support including TEFAP, the program that allowed the Center to purchase food at a reduced cost from HACAP.  83% of the food received from HACAP last year came from this program.

Let's help stock the shelves at the Catherine McAuley Center!
