Do you want to make a difference in the future of Indianola?

Residents of Indianola and the surrounding area are invit-

ed to join our brand new Hometown Pride team!

Hometown Pride is a program that brings community

members together to improve their hometown.

Indianola is forming a Hometown Pride team of local vol-

unteers that will work together to accomplish projects

that make a difference in our hometown, and boost com-

munity pride.

What will Hometown Pride do?

It’s up to you! Past Hometown Pride teams in other com-

munities have done things like:

• Build new playgrounds or trails

• Rehabilitate old homes and buildings

• Beautify streets with art, landscaping and signs

• Attract new businesses to town

Norwalk

Who else is involved in this program?

10 counties across Iowa participate in Hometown Pride, a

program of Keep Iowa Beautiful. The Warren County chap-

ter is a partnership of the Warren County Economic Devel-

opment Corporation, Warren County, and the communi-

ties of Indianola, Carlisle, Cumming, Hartford, Milo, Nor-

walk, and New Virginia. The program is supported by the

Indianola City Council.

How Can I Help?

There are 2 primary ways to get involved:

1. Join the Indianola Hometown Pride committee. We

will meet once a month to plan our projects.

2. Add your name to the volunteer roster to help as

needed. Needs may include landscaping, fundraising,

publicity, painting, event planning and more.
