Mission Statement

To combat food insecurity today and tomorrow by growing food and farmers.

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. Feed Iowa First also helps support beginning farmers through training and investments that ensure the next generation of farmers and food production.
