"It's a neat thing. I think we need more things like this to bring our communities together," said Brandon Routh. "Not only when we have a disaster, a tornado or earthquake or something like that, should we come together. We can be doing this every weekend in communities," he said.

Iowa's KCCI was able to speak to Brandon prior to the event:

"I kind of choose this just service period because service serves everything and people aware of the fact that they can be doing things all the time. It doesn't have to be a huge expense of time -- an hour or two once a month can make a huge difference to these small organizations in the state," said Routh."
