Organizations Fighting Hunger

Description:

Students and educators at Southeast Polk High School work to alleviate hunger through educational and service-learning projects. 

For example, in 2014 students packaged 25,000 meals in partnership with the Outreach Program, and have received an award for their fundraising efforts on behalf of the annual Combat Hunger Food Drive to support the Food Bank of Iowa. Additionally, students raise lettuce that is served in the school cafeteria in an aquaponic system utilizing Barramundi fish. Fresh produce and protein is the goal of their RAM: Farm to Fork project.

How to Help:

Iowans are encouraged to contact Mr. Matthew Eddy for more information and to explore opportunities to work together.
