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.
Your support truly makes a difference. Thank you for standing with us.
