Food Bank for the Heartland

Our mission: To eliminate hunger in the Heartland by ensuring consistent access to healthy foods through community partnerships.

 

We have a big job on our hands, which is why we see the fight against hunger as an ongoing, collaborative effort. Through the collective power of our leadership, staff, partners, volunteers, and donors, we are able to reach more communities, serve more people, and address food insecurity in a more direct and effective way. As new needs arise, we are ready. Together, we are connecting our communities with food, resources, and hope.

Our Impact

1 in 8 people across the Heartland, with 1 in 5 being children, are struggling with food insecurity. Learn more about our efforts to eliminate hunger in  communities across our two-state service area and how you can help.
