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

We solicit, receive, inventory and distribute donated food and grocery products to 425 partner agencies in 55 counties who directly serve needy individuals within their communities.

Forty-two of these counties are served from our facility in Des Moines with the remaining 13 counties being served by our redistribution organization, the Food Bank of Southern Iowa.

The Food Bank of Iowa strives to meet the critical needs of a diverse population through its network of partner agencies, including food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, nonprofit day care facilities, residential care centers and child and senior programs.
