Introduction
Thank you for this opportunity to share your stories with Iowa. We are
incredibly inspired by the work that you do to alleviate hunger across the state
of Iowa and around the world. The Iowa Hunger Directory is a resource for
community members and organizations to further engage in efforts to
collaborate and participate in the singular goal of ending hunger in our
communities and throughout the world.
Launched in 2012, the Iowa Hunger Directory highlights and promotes the
hunger fighting efforts of over 500 nonprofit, business and civic organizations
and provides Iowans with tools and resources to discover new opportunities to
become involved in the fight to end hunger. There is no cost to be part of the
Iowa Hunger Directory, which is built using a “relational” model that requires
consent for each member to be included.
To sign up your organization for the Iowa Hunger Directory please visit

Hunger Calendar, to submit an event please visit our website, or update your
organization’s profile by adding results, achievements and highlights of your
