UIRA's Food Pantry benefit - a big success!
On Sunday, February 15, 2026, the UIRA held a special event at Tavern Blue to raise funds for the Food Pantry at Iowa. Members, their guests, and the general public were invited to attend, and musical entertainment was provided by the popular local band, HomeBrewed. Total donations are still being tallied, but it's evident that the fundraiser was a success!
