Organizations Fighting Hunger

Description:

Mid-Iowa Community Action, Inc. (MICA) is a private, nonprofit organization serving children and families in central Iowa. MICA supports children and families affected by poverty through education, food assistance, and a variety of other programs.

MICA's programs include: Early Head Start, Head Start, Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Maternal and Child Health, Weatherization, Energy Assistance, and Family Development. MICA primarily serves families in Hardin, Marshall, Poweshiek, Story, and Tama counties.

How to Help:

Iowans can support the work of MICA through volunteering or donations. There are always volunteer opportunities to help children learn and grow in their Head Start classrooms and to aid families and individuals at our local food pantries. MICA hosts several events during the course of a year to help low-income families that could not be possible without the time and effort of many caring individuals.
