GET INVOLVED: Community Hunger Drive

The Community Hunger Drive is a funds drive engaging Quad City area businesses, organizations and individuals that takes place in February each year. In 2023, with the participation and support of 28 area businesses and organizations, monetary and food donations were raised to provide over 488,291 meals to children, families and seniors experiencing hunger in 23 counties. The Community Hunger Drive is an event organized by River Bend Food Bank, whose mission is leading the community-wide effort to end hunger in eastern Iowa and western Illinois.
