These centers provide research and outreach to protect workers employed in the agriculture, forestry and fishing (AgFF) sector.

Geographically, the Centers are distributed throughout the nation to be responsive to the agricultural health and safety issues unique to the different regions.  Visit the CDC/NIOSH web page to learn more about other centers, and view the map below to see all current AgFF centers throughout the country.

Bed Bug Information from IHHS

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are small insects without wings. At one time they were almost eliminated from the United States. However, currently are found in all 50 states including Iowa. Bed bug bites usually will cause large itchy welts on the skin. These welts may not appear for 24 to 48 hours after the bite. Bed bugs are not known to spread disease. Currently there are no programs to assist with bed bug infestations at the state or federal level, however local resources may exist to assist homeowners faced with this issue.

Christmas Support for Kids in Jasper County

Circle of Freedom

Our residential recovery home offers women a safe place to get grounded in their faith, find Christ-centered solutions to addiction, and begin life reestablishment.

Our home provides for up to 10 women.  The program is divided into phases with each phase bringing more independence, responsibility, and preparation towards life outside the home.  In each phase, the women work through an individualized study plan using curriculum developed by Adult and Teen Challenge USA (with a 65 year history of positive outcomes and radical life transformation in their centers across the US and Canada). Women also receive practical life-skills training in areas like developing/restoring healthy relationships, parenting, communication, financial management, cooking, and cleaning. Students are required to follow “house rules” and a daily schedule including work therapy, Bible Study, Chapel time, group activities, class time and homework assignments. Completion time varies depending on the individual but ranges between 12 and 15 months.  In later phases, women get outside employment while still having the accountability of living at the home.
