Rebuilding Together Muscatine County is looking for volunteers for National Rebuilding Together Day.
Our mission – Revitalizing communities, and rebuilding lives.
Our vision – Safe homes and communities for everyone.
Why? Because It Just Needs Done.

She Builds
October 1, 2021
On September 18th, Rebuilding Together Muscatine County held its very first “She Builds”.
“She Builds” is a Rebuilding Together program set up BY women FOR women.
Eight ladies (and two gentlemen helpers) joined in the fun.
They came from differnt walks of life, and varying levels of knowledge and abilities.
By the end of the project, all had added to thier building knowledge, made new friends, and helped a neighbor to gain easier access to her home.
Well done gals. Can’t wait for the nex time!
Thank you!

Around 75 of our friends and neighbors spent much of their day volunteering on Saturday helping out others in our community.
Perfect weather helped us to be able to complete all the projects we had scheduled that day.
Keep an eye out for all the pictures that will be coming soon, and THANK YOU!
It Just Needs Done
March 23, 2021
Did you ever wonder how Rebuilding Together Muscatine County came to be? Now you know.
April is National Rebuilding Together month. Watch here to see how you can help.
A Great Partnership!
October 22, 2020When the Covid 19 quarantine began, everything, everywhere, came to a screeching halt.
Everything except need.
Need never takes a break.
One thing that the quarantine did very quickly, was to magnify where the need was the largest.
They called it “Food insecurities”.
feedingamerica.org defines food insecurities as “a household’s inability to provide enough food for every person to live an active, healthy life. Food insecurity is one way we can measure and assess the risk of hunger.”
With all businesses closed, and the inability to leave their homes, those affected, found themselves in worse condition than they were in before.
Rebuilding Together Muscatine County, like everyone else, had their ability to serve as usual, curtailed.
Rebuilding Together Muscatine County’s Executive Director, Frank Iliff, heard of this major need.
Looking to continue serving in the community, because “It Just Needs Done”, he began to seek where he could be the most help to the community.
Through his connections with United Way, he found that he could help in food delivery around town, redistributing overstock from HyVee and other local merchants to local food pantries.
MCSA, The Salvation Army food pantries have benefited from these deliveries, and many families have been helped through these efforts.
This Saturday, another opportunity will be made available to the public.
Rebuilding Together Muscatine County will partner with MCSA and the USDA Farmers to Families Food Box initiative.
All the details you need are as follows.
THIS SATURDAY – OCTOBER 24
Spread the word!
MCSA will be hosting a Free Food Box Distribution on Saturday 10/24.
Come get yours!
Locations & Times for Box Pick-Up:10am – 1pm.
Staff and volunteers will set up distribution stations at the following areas:
- Ripley’s Mobile Home Park in main parking lot
- Van Acker’s/L&B/Gaslight Mobile Home Parks in main parking lot
- M&W Mobile Home Park along entry road
- Louisa Court Mobile Home Park along entry road
- Downtown Muscatine in Richie Sound & Lights Parking Lot 818 E 8th St
- MCSA at 312 Iowa Ave
1pm – 4pm: Open community distribution at Crossroads, 1424 Houser Street.

Please SHARE to get the word out to our community!
