Kim’s Corner

“Hello, my name is Kimberly Smith and I was hired at Willis Dady for the outreach Case Manager position. I have a double major in Human Services/Psychology from Upper Iowa University and an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts from Hawkeye Community College. I have worked in non-profit for over 10 years working to assist families in becoming self-sufficient and helping connect them with programs in the community. Over the past month I have met with a lot of dedicated people and agencies in the Cedar Rapids area. Linn County offers so much to low income and homeless families and individuals. I am very excited to be a part of it all! I enjoy having an impact on people that we all serve in this community. I am overwhelmed by all of the resources in our community and just how quickly people will pull together to get a task completed! I am proud to say that within my short time here, I have seen Willis Dady grow and I am positive that this agency will continue to thrive. Note: Kim Smith began working in late June and holds regular office hours at the Cedar Rapids Police Substation at 1501 1st Ave. SE as well as Linn County Veterans Affairs and the Southeast Linn Community Center. She can be reached at 319 286-5071 or wdescm2@willisdady.org.
