Grundy County domestic, sexual abuse services will continue

    GRUNDY CENTER — While Grundy County’s Seeds of Hope office will be closing soon, the services it provides are not going away. That was the information the Grundy County Board of Supervisors heard during its regular Monday meeting.
    Jamie Behrends, who currently works for Seeds of Hope, briefed the Board on the situation that led Seeds of Hope to close, noting that the state restructured into six domestic violence/sexual assault services regions last July and that Grundy County was separated from Black Hawk County, where Seeds of Hope was based from.
    She said Grundy County has been grouped together with Hardin County for services that will be run by Mason City-based Crisis Intervention Service.
    “The transition has been slow and complicated, but we’re getting there,” Behrends said.
