You might recognize the name Farmers Mutual Hail from our Bridge the Gap campaign, when the company generously sponsored our summer match. A committed partner of Food Bank of Iowa, FMH has sponsored this match for five years running —donating more than $300,000 since 2020.

“We’ve been around for 132 years. So, as far as commitment to community goes, giving back…it’s important to us,” says Brian Farley, vice president of compensation and benefits at FMH. “It starts with our collective mission. Food security and agriculture go hand in hand.”

Food access, from farm to plate, is a link in a bigger chain, he continues.

“As a company, we believe everyone should have access to healthy food. We want to live in a world where [food] isn’t a question mark.”

FMH also encourages employees to share time, finances or both with important causes like hunger relief. The company matches individual employee giving up to $2,000 and also provides a full day of volunteer time off, so team members can get involved.

Food access depends on all of us. Thank you, Farmers Mutual Hail, for your meaningful partnership in our shared mission!
