The Kohl’s A-Team volunteered at the Annual Iowa City CSA Fair this past April. Five volunteers from the Kohl’s Department Store in Coralville worked at the CSA fair for 3 hours. They set-up the room, welcomed visitors to the fair, sold cookbooks and cards, and conducted a survey. The Kohl’s volunteers did a great job and Local Foods Connection looks forward to working with them at other events in the future! As a reward to the A-Team, Kohl’s Corporation was able to provide a $500 grant directly to LFC. Thanks Kohl’s and the Coralville A-Team!

Thanks again to everyone who donates their time, energy and money to support Local Foods Connection!
