During these uncertain times, how can we help?
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
Each week the Food Bank of Iowa receives food donations that need to be sorted and organized before being distributed to our over 620 partner agencies. Volunteers can help get the food to our agencies and the Iowans that need it most by participating in this process! Examples include boxing meals for families, organizing food by category, checking food for safety and quality, and working in our clean room. Every month we move over 1.8 million pounds of food and it is only possible with the support of volunteers in our incredible community. Be a part of this effort and sign up today!
