Supporting School Success Imagine starting school without a pencil or a package of markers like all of the other kids. Sadly, for over 2400 children in the greater Iowa City area, the first day of school is yet another reminder that they are poor and don’t have all of the tools needed to fit in. You can make a difference. Join us in ToGather-Together, a community-wide effort to ensure that all of our youth have the supplies they need to start school ready to learn and succeed. The ToGather-Together school supply drive is bringing together churches, social service agencies, businesses, and schools in a community-wide effort to systematically collect and distribute back-to-school supplies so that every low income youth starts school with supplies. We believe that by pooling our efforts and resources, we will ensure that all needy children are reached and that no child is left behind. |

 Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County is dedicated to building a better future for people in neighborhoods through programs and activities that educate, strengthen families and create a sense of community.
Our goal at Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County is to strengthen families and neighborhoods and improve the quality of life for the community. Our approach to human services, while not new, is a bit different from many human service agencies. Most agencies are driven by a specific issue, problem or the needs of a demographic subgroup. Our mission, on the other hand, is driven by the needs and interests of the families in our neighborhoods. |
