Food insecurity is not just an urban issue—it's affecting every corner of Iowa, from bustling cities to quiet rural areas. Yet, despite the rising need, crucial programs like SNAP (formerly known as Food Stamps) are underutilized, with enrollment at a 16-year low in Iowa. This is largely due to stigma, administrative hurdles, and recent cuts to benefits, leaving many without the support they desperately need.

Why should this matter to you? Because these are not just numbers—they represent real people, families, and children in your community. They could be your coworkers, your children's classmates, or the person who served you coffee this morning. The cost of living crisis isn't just about economics; it's about the fabric of our community and the well-being of everyone in it.

We appreciate you giving what you can. Your donation will be put to good use right away. Your support can make a profound difference in ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry... because in the end... a community is only as strong as its most vulnerable members.

Thank you!!
