ORGANIZATION: Food Bank of Iowa

Each year Central Iowa Sports partners with Food Bank of Iowa to host a food drive at each of their fast pitch tournament locations! Last year they collected hundreds of items and we hope to have even more this year! Volunteers will assist in collecting food donations and placing the donations in bins and boxes. Volunteers are needed in shifts from 8am - 11am, 11am - 2pm, and 2pm - 5pm.

When arriving at a shift look for a trailer where you will meet a staff person to receive instruction on where to go to collect donations. A confirmation email will be sent including a contact person's phone number.

The following locations are food collection locations. Each location will need two volunteers:

  • Altoona Same Wise Youth Complex ( 1000 8th St SE, Altoona, Iowa 50009)

Mission Statement

The Food Bank of Iowa is a charitable, not-for-profit organization committed to our mission of alleviating hunger through food distribution, partnership and education.

Description

From the time the dock doors opened in 1982, we have maintained our No. 1 priority - maximizing "food in - food out" to meet the critical needs of a diverse population through our network of partner agencies in 55 Iowa counties.

As a non-profit food bank, our primary role is to provide food to the charitable agencies offering direct service to hungry Iowans.

These partner agencies include:

  • Food pantries
  • Soup kitchens
  • Homeless shelters
  • Shelters for victims of domestic violence
  • Nonprofit day care centers
  • Residential care centers
  • Child and senior programs

Along with traditional food banking, the Food Bank of Iowa also operates three successful programs: Backpack Buddies, HUSH and the Fresh Produce Project.
