Organizations Fighting Hunger

Description:

United Way of North Central Iowa envisions a world where all individuals and families achieve their human potential through education, income stability, and healthy lives. Specific projects to feed hungry people in North Central Iowa include supporting the BackPack Program, which provides meals for food insecure children to take home over days when school is not in session and the National Association of Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger food drive.

How to Help:

There are opportunities for individuals to donate money and for farmers to donate grain commodities, for individuals and teams to volunteer, and for individuals to advocate on behalf of strong communities.

Volunteers are especially needed to volunteer to package meals for the Backpack Buddies program, to assist with the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive, and to join a speakers bureau that can point out the signs of chronic childhood hunger.
