who needs FOOD?
The simple answer? Everyone needs food. Food is powerful. Not only does it nourish our bodies, food affects how we feel physically and emotionally. However, food is not evenly distributed in our community. Thousands of central Iowans struggle to access healthy food.

where can food go?
First we ask, where are people? By partnering with groups and organizations where people naturally gather, we are improving food access by putting food where community is – like libraries, neighborhood refrigerators, housing complexes, and daycare facilities.
