BOONE, Iowa—The Heart of Iowa Habitat for Humanity, the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate serving Boone, Greene and Guthrie Counties has been awarded a very generous donation of $580 from Fareway Stores, Inc. to assist in our mission to eliminate poverty housing and fulfill Habitat’s vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Individuals were able to wear jeans to work in exchange for a donation to Habitat for Humanity. In addition to the monetary gift, Fareway also provided physical labor in completing a Helping Hands home repair project at the home of Viola Williams in Boone. Fareway employees volunteered on site to apply a fresh coat of paint to the house.
