A NIACC ‘painting team’ was one of the many volunteer teams that helped paint the Building CommUNITY mural last week in downtown Mason City. \"NIACC<\/p>\n

Krista Algor, NIACC Volunteer Center Coordinator, said volunteers were invited to join in on the fun of a hands-on and family-friendly project that was created to give a highly-visible testament that Mason City is a welcoming community to everyone.<\/p>\n

The NIACC team mostly worked on finishing touches to the mural, making lines clean and dark. Volunteers were provided with all the supplies necessary and given painting t-shirts as well as taught tips and techniques for painting on the wall surface.<\/p>\n

Mason City Chamber of Commerce staff member, Zoie Papouchis designed the mural that is located along the north wall of the Community Health Center on North Federal Avenue.<\/p>\n

\"NIACCThe NIACC Volunteer Center<\/a> \u00a0offers NIACC employees, students, and community members a wide array of volunteer opportunities. The center pairs organizations in need with volunteers, and vice versa, assisting in activities such as yard clean-up, event staff, and apparently painting murals!<\/p>\n

In fact, the NIACC girls softball, track and field team, and the wrestling team received the Governor’s Volunteer Service Award<\/strong> in May of 2022\"NIACC for outstanding commitment and service, they were nominated by Elderbridge Agency on Aging.<\/p>\n

Not only does volunteering help meet essential needs in the community and create lasting change in North Iowa, it has also been proven to help people feel healthier and happier.<\/p>\n

Non-profit organizations can contact the Volunteer Center Coordinator, Krista Allgor<\/a>, to get information about how to partner, get volunteers, or promote your organization\u2019s opportunities.<\/p>\n
