2018 Updates to the Iowa Hunger Directory

Now that spring has sprung upon us, we are looking to put together the hard copy of the Iowa Hunger Directory once again! 

As all of our members of the directory contribute to our communities efforts to end hunger and food insecurity, it is important for us to provide the community with the most up-to-date information. As such, I encourage those who are members of our directory to take a quick look at your profile and see if there are any needed updates!

To make any needed updates to your profile, please feel free to reply to this newsletter directly, otherwise you may submit updates using this form. It is my hope to have updates submitted by Friday, April 6.

As always, I am eager to hear from you, so feel free to drop me a note on what you have been working on and what is yet to come!
