Join us for STAR 102.5’s 39th annual Combat Hunger. We’re teaming up with one mission: to provide meals for thousands of Iowans facing food insecurity. You can help right now!
Stopping hunger in Iowa starts with you
You can feed an Iowan facing hunger for less than $2 a day.
96 cents of every dollar donated go directly to feed our neighbors.
We’re here for you
Food Bank of Iowa fights hunger so no Iowan has to struggle to find food. We’re here to help when you need us. And we appreciate your help, whether it’s through donations of time, money or food.
Hunger Can Happen to Anyone
Hunger can happen to anyone, including you. And it hits closer to home than you might imagine. It impacts Iowans of all ages, including hardworking people with jobs who can’t afford nutritious food. Food insecurity affects kids, people with disabilities, older Iowans living on fixed incomes, and those who are dealing with job loss or medical expenses. Learn more about the Iowans we help.
