Community Soul Food Dinner

The February 2023 Community Soul Food Dinner celebrated Black History Month as well a couple of other notable events. Successful Living was recognized for its support of the TeamCAN, the social justice arm of the Teamsters, who supported recovery efforts of local disasters such as the Cedar Rapids Derecho and also operates a Civil Rights Bus Tour, taking ICCSD students to civil rights landmarks and historically black colleges and universities.
