Success:When I was a kid my family pinched every penny they could to make ends meet. I remember eating lots of rice casserole and wearing hand me down clothes. We had a large blended family and my parents were hospitable people giving of their love and time in many ways; which included fostering many children.Being an industrious family, my parents took over a small business as the owner retired and they then bought an old house that we all moved into in Wapello. With old windows and drafty spots, keeping warm was a challenge. A friend told my parents about the weatherization program and they applied. Our home was chosen to be weatherized and I remember men in white suits coming to blow in lots of insulation. It saved our family thousands of dollars over the two decades we lived there.My life was positively impacted by Community Action of Southeast Iowa as a child. As an adult, it has continued to impact me as I have been able to be a part of giving back through my employment with them the past eight years. I am thankful for Community Action.- Rachel Nunnikhoven Albrecht ... See MoreSee Less
