(Iowa City, IA) -- The Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity is starting a campaign to raise money to cover damages to it's warehouse. A warehouse used for the organization's construction tools, supplies, materials, safety equipment, vehicles, trailers, was destroyed during severe weather last Friday.
“Our organization has determined that our clients, staff, and the majority of our most dedicated supporters stayed safe and have been unaffected by last week’s storms, and for that we are grateful. This loss, however, is still devastating. It has not yet been confirmed, but it is likely a tornado hit our warehouse and our neighboring HabLab classroom during the storms on March 31," said IVHFH Executive Director Scott Hawes.
The neighboring HabLab facility sustained significant damage during storms. The HabLab is a building with a classroom, kitchenette, bathroom facility, staff office, and additional storage space. Heated and cooled, HabLab pairs perfectly with the warehouse when hosting volunteers in addition to precious storage space.
