Feed Iowa

I recently went to a fund raising event for this charity and our community supported agriculture farmer is a huge supporter of this concept.  When all of their share holders have gotten what they want of the vegetables they have grown, they donate what is left to this organization and to our local food pantry.
The fact that there is food insecurity in our country is ridiculous.  We do not have a minimum wage that is a living wage, and so people who work full time do not make enough money for food, shelter, and healthcare.  The "safety net" involves public assistance, so we allow businesses to not pay salaries that cover basic expenses for families, and the government then subsidizes these businesses with housing and food supplements, which is unfair for everyone but those who own shares in these businesses.  But solving that problem is a long way off, and people are hungry now, so providing good, fresh, locally grown food is good for the community and good for the planet.  Consider supporting this group which does such good work.
