They are our neighbors, friends, coworkers. Big city, small town . they are kids in our classrooms struggling to get through the hunger to even be able to focus and learn.
Iโve spent a lot of time on the receiving end of programs like these. I know what itโs like to worry about food, housing, or how youโre going to make things work one day to the next. Life can change in an instant and we could easily find ourselves in need. Iโm so grateful to now be in a position where I can give back and support organizations doing this work in our community. (btw local community fridges >> another incredible food support!๐)
Thank you Food Bank of Iowa for continuing to grow programs like school and community pantries where kids and families can access support in a familiar, safe place.
Dignity matters. Privacy matters. People matter. ๐
Share links in the comments for volunteering, donating, or finding a pantry near you.
