What We Are Facing

Insufficient Food Storage

Volunteer Space Constraints

With over 13,300 volunteers annually, we lack the safe and adequate spaces needed to support their essential contributions.

Aging infrastructure reduces efficiency and compromises safety in our operations.

Dear Supporter

Over 40,000 northeast Iowans face food insecurity, including one in six children. As the demand for our services continues to grow, NEIFB plays a vital role as the food bank serving a 16-county area, ensuring that no child, senior, or family in our community goes hungry.

But we are at a critical moment.

To continue this vital work, we simply need more space. Supporting our Capacity Campaign goes beyond a donation. It is a commitment to breaking down barriers, empowering volunteers, and building a future where everyone has access to meals, dignity, and hope.
