Food Bank Of Iowa - Des Moines

From the time the dock doors opened in 1982, we have maintained our No. 1 priority - maximizing "food in - food out" to meet the critical needs of a diverse population through our network of partner agencies in 55 Iowa counties. As a non-profit food bank, our primary role is to provide food to the charitable agencies offering direct service to hungry Iowans. These partner agencies include: Food pantries, Soup kitchens, Homeless shelters, Shelters for victims of domestic violence, Nonprofit day care centers, Residential care centers, as well as Child and senior programs. Along with traditional food banking, the Food Bank of Iowa also operates three successful programs: Backpack Buddies, HUSH and the Fresh Produce Project.

The Food Bank of Iowa is a charitable, not-for-profit organization committed to our mission of alleviating hunger through food distribution, partnership and education.
