KCRG and our Show You Care Sponsors are very proud to present Raising Hope. One year ago, the river breached its banks and seeped into the lives of anyone in its path.

Eastern Iowa non-profit groups have come a long way after rising flood waters forced some from their homes and strained their resources.

And many are still in the process of recovering today, as they move forward with the help of volunteers and donations.

Watch as we introduce you to these charitable organizations that work to raise the hope of flood victims while trying to stay afloat themselves.
