The Cedar Rapids Civil Rights Commission MLK Day Book Drive was a huge success! The Cedar Rapids Civil Rights Commission MLK Day Book Drive Raised Approximately 1,250 Books for Area Agencies and Non-Profits The Cedar Rapids Civil Rights Commission, with the help of local donation sites: Brewed Awakenings, Cedar Rapids Public Library, Coe College, Foundation 2, Jane Boyd, Kirkwood Community college, Mount Mercy College, Prairie Soup Company, RuffaloCody, St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, and Summit Schools was able to raise approximately 1,250 books in the Commission’s MLK Day Book Drive.
