Organizations Fighting Hunger

Description:

Prairie Rivers of Iowa RC&D promotes community-based stewardship that will improve the quality of life of citizens, preserve the ecological integrity of the land, and meet the economic aspirations of landowners and communities. They have been serving citizens across Iowa and in Boone, Story, Marshall, Hardin, Hamilton, and Webster Counties since 2001. Their Kate Mitchell Community Garden project works with students at Kate Mitchell elementary school in Ames to teach elementary children about healthy nutrition through a hands-on garden experience, while addressing childhood obesity and food insecurity within low income families in Ames, Iowa.

How to Help:

Iowans can support the work of Prairie Rivers of Iowa RC&D by volunteering at the community garden or contacting staff about other volunteer needs that may arise from time to time.
