Traveling Photography Display Shows Faces of Hunger in Iowa
July 7, 2014
The Feed the Need photography display features real-life stories and
faces of Iowans who struggle with hunger each day. Struggling to put
food on the table is something most people don’t talk about. Indeed,
the need for community conversations about hunger came up as a
priority at Hunger Thought Leader Meetings in Cedar Rapids,
Waterloo, Sioux City, and Des Moines.
By bringing to life this wide array of stories, the Iowa Food Bank
Association hopes to remind people about this critical issue in Iowa
communities and encourage everyone to take action and help,
whether by volunteering, donating or planting extra crops.
The exhibit, which includes the work of award-winning local
photographer Molly Rogalla of Indianola, debuted at the Iowa State
Capitol in April as part of the Iowa Food Bank Association’s hunger
awareness campaign. It is now travelling across Iowa through
partnerships with local organizations.
Exhibitions are currently scheduled in Des Moines, Davenport, Ames, Waterloo, Waukee,
Marshalltown and Cedar Rapids. To find out more information or to schedule an exhibition in your
community, contact Michelle Winkey at 319-234-0776 or [email protected].
