Raccoon River Valley Trail Inducted Into Rails-to-Trails

In August, Iowa’s Raccoon River Valley Trail was Inducted Into Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s National Hall of Fame after receiving a record-breaking 16,000 votes in the National 2021 Rail-Trail Hall of Fame contest!

Since opening in 1989, the trail has been a vital tourist attraction and embraced as an asset for health, wellness and connections among the region and state.

This 89-mile path – offering views of woodlands, prairies, public art and a unique “lighted bridge”—connects rural communities to larger cities, including Jefferson, Des Moines and Perry.

Plans are in the works to eventually connect the Raccoon River Valley Trail to the world-famous High Trestle Trail.

The trail is also an important segment of the cross-country Great American Rail-Trail™, a flagship project of RTC that will connect Washington, D.C., and Washington State across 3,700 miles of trail.

Today, more than 350,000 people use the trail annually, bringing economic opportunities and vitality to the 14 communities that dot the trail, much like the railroad did 150 years ago. Learn more about the trail at raccoonrivervalleytrail.org.

Good Samaritan Food Pantry Sponsors Backpack Meals

Courtesy of Adel Food Pantry:

The Good Samaritan Food Pantry sponsors a program called Backpack Meals.

Backpack meals provide meals to students in grade K-12 that are food insecure on the weekends.

Without anyone knowing, school personnel quietly puts the meals into the Backpacks of each child K-5. 

At the 6-12 level, students stop by a designated area to put their meals into their Backpacks.  School personnel ensure that no student feels humiliated or embarrassed about receiving this blessing.

Contact your school if you would like your child to receive these weekend meals. No proof of income is required.

We have a community of volunteers who pack Backpack meals for children in grades K-12 at ADM.

Thank you to the following people for ensuring that our students receive this blessing each week:

– Celia

Travis Parsons Memorial Dog Park Fundraiser

Travis Parsons Memorial Dog Park
Fundraiser – AHeinz57 Pet Rescue

There has been such an outpouring of love and a need for many of us to do something special in memory of Travis, that many of us are pitching in to create a large Dogs Playing for Life fenced area.

It will be a specific area to continue Travis‘s work with the dog playgroups.

Travis Parsons

These play groups give dogs a much needed break from the isolation of individual kennels they are living in. It also helps us learn their play styles and and more importantly, they teach each other how to behave around each other.

Dogs can learn things from each other that we just can’t teach them. This area will also have a few shaded areas with picnic tables and benches where volunteers can I hang out together and dog reunions can be held.

The entire area will be dedicated to Travis Parsons. We all think he would love this. Please Donate if you would like to be a part of it.
