Second Quarter 2026: Driftless Water Defenders

The Driftless Water Defenders (DWD) is one of the four organizations that Peoples Church members voted to donate to for the Second Sunday Plate Collections in 2026. DWD will be the recipient during the second quarter, from April through June 2026.

DWD is a non-profit Iowa environmental law and advocacy organization founded in 2024. DWD focuses on reducing farm-related water pollution and pollution-caused threats to public health in the Driftless Area of Northeast Iowa and statewide.

DWD got started because some Iowans decided enough is enough and it's time to confront industrialized agriculture's assault on our water resources.  

DWD is intent on changing public policy, engaging citizens, and – when necessary – litigating matters to protect Iowans' access to clean water for personal, business, and recreational purposes.
