“Absolutely loved it! My husband and I took a wheel throwing class, and it was so much fun. I was disappointed that the class was only 2 hours long. I could have done it all day. Our instructor was Emma, and she was patient, helpful, and encouraging. They also had an amazing display up for us to see.”

Ms. Judy uses her incredible skills to create space for students, teachers and staff to work through conflict and come out the other side with more skills and confidence to move forward.

“I love being able to go downtown and not having to walk into the courthouse or cop station because I have some really horrible experiences in those buildings as I'm currently clean wrecked my moped and almost died and the cops took it without my permission. Therefore the last time I was down there I did cause a huge scene and yelled at them for doing us good citizens wrong. Luckily after having a breakdown my fiance helped me realize that my moped is in my mother's name so therefore she can get it without the cops permission since I wasn't even supposed to pick it up and ride it as I was supposed to ride it in a safe space that Pastor Rick knew of and was going to deliver the mopeds there instead of us picking them up and me almost dying and missing Overtime concert while on a breathing tube.”

230 10th St NW, Cedar Rapids“I feel like Riverview center is not recognized enough for all that they do even when they are only capable of doing so much because of circumstances. I feel like not enough people realize how much they do for only being such a small team of people. I don't think people realize how much donations and grants that have been accepted that has put into this program and not realizing the crucial amount of how manylives have been saved and built up. I don't think that enough people realize how many people because of Riverview were soon comfortable enough to be a voice for themselves speaking enough volume for a thousand others . I don't think that the community of people are aware of how big of an impact that just oneself makes and how much of a difference just themselves have on make in society. You make more of a differencethen u think.I wish that more people were made aware of the amount of victims there are in todays world and how many people are affected every minute from this abuse and how many are trying to get over the fear to be able to voice out what they went through. As a community I feel like there should be more people that reach out and are willing to help instead of only thinking of themselves or being oblivious of what the world seems to be coming to I feel like if more people were to stand together without no judgment and hate people would really be shocked on how much the world would be a better place. The world is already a cold place and we're only making it colder.Make people aware!educate!stand together As one and take a step to make a change because this matter can't be fixed alone. Remember that your voice will be heard and even if it doesn't seem like it, your voice makes a difference just don't silence yourself within all the cruelty and society”
“Roz is one of the sweetest, most kindhearted people I know. When I stayed at the Madge Phillips shelter 4 yrs ago, she always had a smile for me & my (late) wife, and a word of encouragement as we looked for an apt. And Roz always loves to see me and hear about how well I'm doing when I have business there. Waypoint helped my wife & I with phone calls, and with finding resources to get our daily needs met. They truly care about each person they encounter and do their utmost to help them get back on their feet. ❤️❤️❤️”
“This is a wonderful organization that is making neutering and spaying affordable to anyone that calls and sets up an appointment. The solution to unwanted litters is in making sure the cats and dogs in our community are unable to procreate. They are non judgmental and professional and I hope they will be able to continue this service for many years!”
