Community Calendars
Because so many groups are maintaining important calendars of events in the QCA, we decided to display some of them here. We encourage you to connect with all of these organizations to continue doing work for the common good. And if your organization is considering hosting an event, please check these to be sure that you aren't planning something on a day when others have something going on. Read the PACG blog post here to learn about what the groups below are doing, and in some instances, to add your events to their calendars. Remember that the PACG Calendar of our events and actions is here.

Sign Up to Be a Snow Angel!
City of Moline
The City of Moline has what’s called the Snow Angels program. Basically, residents that can’t shovel their own sidewalk due to age or physical ability can sign up and be paired with a volunteer.
Volunteers must be at least 16 years old to participate. Volunteers are assigned an address within 1 mile of their home. When it snows more than 2 inches, volunteers will get a text letting them know that it’s time to shovel their resident’s sidewalk and they have 24 hours to do this.
Last year was our first year doing this program, and it was very well received! It was a mild winter, so it really wasn’t a huge obligation and it felt really good to help others out. I took on 2 addresses for shoveling.
Follow the link to fill out an application/waiver or to get more info about the Moline Snow Angel program.
Thank you!

Please join us on Friday, December 12th at 5pm for good food and entertainment to celebrate the opening of Kinna's House of Love. Quad Cities Dancing With the Stars will open the program. There will be other surprises, a raffle, prizes and a ribbon cutting celebrating our shelter for women who have been victims of domestic violence, sex-trafficking or sexual assault. Some of them will share their survival stories.
