Mid-Sioux Opportunity, Inc. is a not-for-profit Community Action Agency
established in 1965 to fight poverty at a local level by assisting low-income
families in Northwest Iowa to become self-sufficient.
Mid-Sioux manages 14 federal, state, and local programs that are
designed to help families and children grow through educational, health,
and financial assistance.
Their Emergency Food Pantry program operates out of their Cherokee and
Sioux Center Outreach Offices. A three-day supply of food is provided to
families who are out of food and money. Through their Food for
Life program, families in need can also receive packages of frozen meat
that are donated by local livestock producers.
Mid-Sioux also provides WIC services in Northwest Iowa. WIC (Women,
Infants, & Children) is a supplemental nutrition program for babies,
children under the age of 5, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and
women who have had a baby in the last 6 months. WIC helps families by
providing healthy foods, nutrition education, and referrals to other health
care agencies.
