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.

Sometimes I have to decide, 'Am I going to get my medication, or am I going to eat?' The food from the building's food pantry helps me and so many people here.

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."

What seemed like a nice way to get outside and volunteer for a couple of hours at work really inspired me to get involved and open my heart to always say "yes" when the opportunity presented itself.
