Food pantries face high demand across Iowa towns
The Gazette reports rising need for food assistance as Olivet Neighborhood Mission closes, followed by Together We Achieve seeking emergency funds to cover operations. Nearly 2 million pounds have been distributed since 2020, with calls for public funding, partnerships, and broader state investment to sustain pantries through winter and holidays. Edith-Chase of Cedar Rapids is among those relying on these services.
