Food Bank of Iowa

Food Bank of Iowa is committed to creating a hunger-free Iowa. We provide food that helps Iowa children, families, seniors and veterans lead full and active lives, strengthening the communities where they live. We value compassion, commitment, collaboration, creativity and courage.

Hunger isn’t a problem that happens somewhere else. It happens right here in the heartland. In our communities. Our schools. And our neighborhoods. Here in Iowa, more than 300,000 of our neighbors struggle to afford nutritious food. Hunger can look very different than you think it does. It can be a hardworking family trying to make ends meet. A child who only gets meals at school. Or a senior deciding between prescriptions or groceries. At Food Bank of Iowa, we believe no one should have to go hungry. We gather and distribute more than 1.5 million pounds of nutritious food each month to 700 partners across 55 Iowa counties, getting help to those who need it the most.
