Iowa City Update is a weekly video featuring City of Iowa City projects, programs, and events. Topics this week include an opportunity to repair broken or worn items, a day of inclusive activities at Mercer Park, and a collection event for unwanted or outdated medication and needles.
Don’t miss this free community event where residents can bring household items to be repaired by volunteers while learning repair skills, reducing waste, and supporting a more sustainable community.
Happening on Saturday, April 25, the UI Day of Play offers adaptive recreation and inclusive play with stations to learn new games and ways to enjoy old favorites.
Running alongside the UI Day of Play, community members can connect with vendors to explore resources, innovations, and services designed to empower individuals with disabilities.
Safely dispose of unwanted medications and household needles at the Drug Take Back Day event to help prevent prescription misuse and protect community health.
