Across Iowa, our employee-owners are committed to giving back through service projects, donations, volunteerism, youth programs, and local partnerships.
Community involvement isn’t a line item in our budget. It’s a core belief shared by every employee-owner at Woodruff.
All Offices
Before every school year, Woodruff employees fill backpacks with supplies for students in under-resourced districts. Each office takes ownership of their local schools.

Spencer
From hauling 30,000 books for the Spencer Rotary Club book sale to sponsoring local golf tournaments, our team shows up when the community asks.

200+ Students Inspired
Multiple Offices
We don’t just give money — we give expertise. From concrete pads for Webster City Police to ceiling panels for Spencer Kiwanis, we give what we do best.
4,000 sq ft Donated Labor
Ames, Iowa
Every December, all five offices coordinate holiday donation drives — toys, clothing, and gifts for local families in need. In 2023 alone, our team supported over 40 families across Iowa.
40+ Families Supported
Because Woodruff is 100% employee-owned, every person on our team has a real stake in the success of the communities we serve. When a local nonprofit thrives, when a school gets new supplies, when a family has a warmer holiday — our people feel that personally.
That ownership mentality follows our team to food drives, Habitat builds, school career days, and every community event where showing up matters more than showing off.
“We don’t just build in Iowa. We live here. We raise our families here. This community is ours.”
Providing school supplies, classroom resources, youth program sponsorships, and career education opportunities.
Partnering with organizations focused on health, housing, families, and community wellbeing.
Hands-on volunteer projects, fundraising events, and employee-led service efforts statewide.
