Come join the Immigrant Welcome Network of Johnson County for the second annual Gala, a night of fun dancing, music, and good food to raise money for the local immigrant community here in Iowa City. The 2nd annual Gala is one of the main events that the IWNJC runs to raise rent for the welcoming house, a home where the IWNJC welcomes new families to the county before they can be connected to rented housing.
The IWNJC is still looking for volunteers to help with the event. There are a multitude of opportunities to aid with the IWNJC, from anywhere from decorations to kitchen staff, there is a role for you!
