Our desire is to be one of the best friends our city has ever had. For the past six years, we have held several events throughout Ames, under the banner “We Heart Ames”, to put that desire into action. There were over 350 volunteers, who gave 500 hours to love and serve our city. We gave away 240 hot dogs, 800 bottles of water, 300 cups of coffee, 180 popsicles, and 150 LED light bulbs!. We also washed 50 cars and 10 dogs. There were several teams that served in city parks, retirement homes, the Friendship Ark, the Boys and Girls Club, YSS, Overflow, Ames Public Schools, on ISU campus, and residential treatment centers around the city. On Friday night, 65 people participated in prayer walks at nine different schools around the city.
