Description:

Cultivate Iowa is an initiative of the Iowa Food Systems Council’s Food Access & Health Collaborative to promote the benefits of food gardening and produce donation to create a sustainable future and healthier communities in Iowa.

Through outreach and community engagement, Cultivate Iowa inspires Iowans to grow some of their own produce and live healthier lifestyles. In addition, Cultivate Iowa empowers gardeners and community members to donate fresh produce to their local food pantries or other community organizations.

How to Help:
 
Cultivate Iowa asks Iowans to plant a little extra in their gardens to donate to their local food pantries. Gardeners don’t need to have a big garden to donate; any amount is helpful and needed. Iowans can learn about gardening, learn about donating produce and pledge to donate on their website.
 
Organizations that wish to collaborate should email Cultivate Iowa at info@cultivateiowa.org, as they are currently looking for partners.
