Sometimes the stress and bustle of the holiday season can make it easy to forget the fundamentals: giving and helping others. Iowans share stories of kindness and connection in their lives. First, how neighbors in Solon became family to each other. Then, a church in Sac City invites children to pick out a Christmas present for their parent or the adult in their life. A veterinarian shares her journey of fostering dogs, and finally the nonprofit Open Heartland helps immigrants make Iowa home.
Guests:
- Eric Menzel, former farmer/restaurant owner, chef
- Jeanne Cadoret, resident of Solon
- Ree Irwin, retired teacher
- Emily Harold, veterinarian, Scott County Animal Hospital
- Deb Dunkhase, founder and board member, Open Heartland
