Heartland Helpers: Volunteer with Food Bank of Iowa

In the heart of the Midwest, Iowa is known for its farmland, welcoming communities, and hardworking spirit. But even here, many families struggle with food insecurity. The Food Bank of Iowa is on a mission to change that—and they need volunteers like you to make it possible.

Step into the action by sorting, packing, and distributing food at warehouses or partner agencies. These opportunities are perfect for individuals, families, or groups who want to serve together.

Skills-Based Volunteering
If you have expertise in areas like marketing, fundraising, IT, or administration, your professional skills can help the Food Bank reach more people and run more effectively.
