THEIR STORIES

OUR STORIES.

1 IN 8 ADULTS AND 1 IN 6 CHILDREN ARE STRUGGLING WITH HUNGER IN EASTERN IOWA AND WESTERN ILLINOIS. HERE ARE SOME OF THEIR STORIES.

Laurie, pantry guest

The Backpack Program helps kids like Cateleya and Gracie have food for the weekend during the school year. "I really like the juice," says Cateleya, smiling. "/ like the ravioli," Gracie says. "And the cereal! Yum! I like to eat cereal for breakfast."
