Spirit Lake Community Coalition is a dedicated group of volunteers in Spirit Lake who love our community and are volunteering for one hour or many each month to help bring our various projects together creating a vibrance to our Spirit Lake community. Using the Community Heart and Soul guidelines developed by the Orton Foundation to grow community we are furthering our understanding through the coaching we are receiving from the Innovia Foundation. The Innovia Foundation endorses the Community Heart and Soul program for community development.

The Coalition was formed when the non-profits Spirit Valley food bank, Spirit Lake food bank, Cup of Grace and the Community/Senior center realized that by working in cooperation they could provide more for families amidst dwindling food supplies. This effort provided abundant boxes for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Through this task we discovered the joy of working together and began brainstorming other possibilities. Thus, the Spirit Lake Community Coalition (SLCC) was formed and grew quickly with 60+ members and counting.  The coalition wants our gem of a city to shine as we volunteer side by side to make Spirit Lake the best it can be. We are a bi-partisan, non-political group open to everyone with a desire to volunteer and make our community vibrant.

 Could our next volunteer be you?
