Iowa Women Spend Spring Break Volunteering

A group of 20 women from the University of Iowa are spending spring break in Louisiana, but it's not what you think.

The group is working through Volunteers of America of North Louisiana to spend their vacation helping Hurricane Katrina evacuees living in Shreveport. They have recently been working on a Habitat for Humanity home in Bossier City and have also spent time in local food banks.

The Shreveport Times has a brief article about the Iowa students along with a photo of them working in the food bank.
