Description
Feed Iowa First, a 501c(3) nonprofit, was established in 2011 to confront food insecurity. By partnering with schools, faith organizations, community agencies and businesses, Feed Iowa First finds open spaces to grow and donate nutritious produce. In 2017, nearly 33,000 lbs. of produce was distributed to over 500 food insecure individuals with use of a mobile food pantry that allows individuals to select the produce they desire.
