Can Do
Can Do
The Iowa City A.M. Rotary and Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity have teamed up to create the CAN DO project to raise funds for local non-profit projects that improve the quality of life in our community. You can donate your cans and bottles at City Carton, Eastside Recycling Center, and the Can Shed.
Please help support dozens of local non-profit organizations, including The Iowa Children’s Museum, by donating your redeemable cans and plastic bottles to the CAN DO project!
Be sure to look for the CAN DO Community Projects signs when you drop off your donation of cans and bottles! At the Can Shed, indicate that you want to donate your money to Iowa City A.M. Rotary. Please consider donating your cans and bottles – every can makes a difference.
The Iowa Children’s Museum gives a huge thank you to Iowa City A.M. Rotary for their grant support of our ABC Literacy Exhibit Project this year!

The Crisis Center is the only CONTACT USA accredited agency in Iowa, also holds accreditation from the American Association of Suicidology, is a member of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network and was the eighth agency in the nation to join the Crisis Chat portal. jccrisiscenter.org

Beginning with Books! Book Drive for Young Children
Only 52.5% of children are read to daily in Iowa. And early reading matters. Many children from lower income households may hear as many as 30 million fewer words by age 4 than children from vocabulary rich households. This word disadvantage impacts school readiness and can lead to reading delays. Let’s work together to fix this! Donate a book during our Book Drive. Give old stories new life. Share those treasured stories that meant so much to you or your own children. Make a difference in the life of a needy child in our community.
