Share the Love Stories feature businesses and their efforts to help make Iowa City a great place to live and work. From annual fundraisers, to stepping up in times of need and donating goods/services, these short stories are a way to thank businesses for sharing the love with the community that supports them.
Here are a few examples of how local best businesses give back:
Iowa Recovery Room
Floating in a 95-degree tub of water and 900 pounds of diluted Epsom salt, clients can relax and unwind in silence or with music.
Iowa Recovery Room owner Patrick Krier has been able to use the sensory deprivation tanks as a way to give back to the community. Krier has been able to donate floats to local schools, Big Brother Big Sisters, Team Breast Friends (breast cancer non-profit), Friends of the Animal Center Foundation, The Arc of Southeastern Iowa, and Habitat for Humanity. He has also been working with the Iowa City Police, Fire Departments and First Responders to help reduce stress and burnout.
Randy’s Flooring
July of 2018 marked the beginning of a partnership between the UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital and Randy’s Flooring of Coralville and Cedar Rapids. For every square foot of Stainmaster Comfort-Gel Cushion sold, five cents is donated to the University of Iowa Center for Advancement. Since the beginning of the campaign, Randy’s Flooring has been able to raise over $25,000 for the hospital.
