EMPTY BOWLS 2026: What an incredible night! Thank you to everyone in our community who showed up on Friday to help fight food insecurity and support our work across northeast Iowa. Because of you, we raised more than $40,000 and welcomed over 420 guests - a new record for NEIFB! We are so grateful to stand alongside a community that continues to show up, give back, and care for one another. Every Meal. Every Day. Everyone. Thank you for standing with us. #EmptyBowls #EveryMealEveryDayEveryone #NEIFB

CAPACITY CAMPAIGN: Today, we want to recognize Crystal Cold for their partnership and for stepping up to support the Northeast Iowa Food Bank during our cooler/freezer transition. As we expand and renovate our facility, support like this makes it possible to keep serving our 16-county community without missing a beat. We’re so grateful for Crystal Cold’s help during this important season of transition. Thank you to the amazing team at Crystal Cold! Every Meal. Every Day. Everyone. #NEIFB #everymealeverydayeveryone #neifbcapacitycampaign

Yesterday, the Northeast Iowa Food Bank joined the Iowa Food Bank Association for Fight Hunger Day on the Hill. At the Iowa State Capitol, we met with legislators to discuss key priorities in the fight against hunger to ensure food security remains a prime focus in Iowa. #NortheastIowaFoodBank #NEIFB #EveryMealEveryDayEveryone #IFBA #DayontheHill #FightHunger

YEAR-END GIVING: As you consider your year-end gifts, we hope you’ll consider the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. As we head into a new year, we need our community’s continued support to help feed the growing number of northeast Iowans facing food insecurity across our 16 counties. 2025 was a year of great uncertainty, and so many individuals and businesses stepped up when it mattered most. That generosity made a real difference, and continued giving will help ensure food remains available for those who rely on us. We believe food is a basic human right. Thank you for standing with us.

HEALTHY KIDS IOWA: Don't forget that NEIFB and other food banks are currently partnering with Iowa HHS to implement the 'Healthy Kids Iowa' Pilot Program. This program provides Iowa children with healthy foods this summer. Find a location near you at hhs.iowa.gov/healthy-kids-i…. #NEIFB #everymealeverydayeveryone #healthykidsiowa

NEIFB ADVOCACY: Time is running out, eastern Iowa. A final vote is expected any hour. Add your voice – bit.ly/3ZUkLlB Thank you for standing with us. #neifb #neifbadvocacy #everymealeverydayeveryone @FeedingAmerica

@NEIFBADVOCACY: SNAP cuts would hurt rural America. SNAP supports local economies, especially in rural areas, by helping family-owned grocers, farmers’ markets, and food retailers. Please, Senators Grassley and Ernst, #protectSNAP for everyone. #NEIFB #SNAPMatters

That’s a wrap on #EmptyBowls2025! We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us tonight. Attendance exceeded expectations, and the energy in the room meant the world to us. Thank you for standing with us. So much more to come! #NEIFB #everymealeverydayeveryone #emptybowls

#DAYONTHEHILL: Today, members of the #NEIFB team traveled to the State Capitol in Des Moines to meet with legislators to champion critical priorities in the fight against hunger, ensuring that food security remains a top focus for our communities. #EveryMealEveryDayEveryone

#NEIFB wishes you and your family a very Merry Christmas! This holiday season, we’re especially grateful for the support of our community in helping us provide meals to those in need. Together, we’re spreading hope and joy to families across northeast Iowa. Thank you.
