The Van Buren County SAFE Coalition is continually looking
for volunteers who are interested in making Van Buren County a SAFE place to
live.
The Van Buren
County SAFE Coalition came together originally in 1993, after the floods, as a
way to get community members together to work on a specific issue. This
group was organized to assist with flood efforts and clean-up after the
flood. The group met sporadically over the next few years. It was
not until December of 2002 that the group became organized. There were 11
members at the first organized meeting, and the group has now grown to
over 60 members.
The coalition is
currently working on building their capacity/ability to address underage
drinking and underage binge drinking in Van Buren County with Iowa Partnership
for Success Funds. This process requires input from all areas of the community.
If you are a parent, business owner, concerned citizen, faith based
representative, youth worker, youth, or anyone else who wants to make a
difference, the coalition needs you. Your input is valuable and we want to hear
from you.
If you are
interested in finding out more about the coalition or think that you would like
to get involved the coalition would love to have you join! Coalition
meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 9:00 am at the
VBCH Community Services Center Conference Room in Keosauqua.
