ABOUT THIS MONTH'S CHALLENGE
WHY THIS CHALLENGE

When people think of the front lines of food insecurity, they often picture the nonprofit and community leaders devoted to feeding the hungry and ensuring individuals have access to nutritious food. But both the individuals served and the organizations serving them are affected by the complexities of local and state policy decisions.

In our second Iowa Stops Hunger panel discussion, we invite you to hear from those fighting to end hunger about the role the government can play in ensuring that no Iowan has to be food insecure. Policies related to poverty, health and agriculture will be among the key focuses of the discussion.

Among the questions we plan to tackle:

  • What are the top policy priorities for leaders of organizations feeding the hungry?
  • How does poverty and policy related to essential needs affect food insecurity?
  • How are our local government entities (city, county, school district and state) working to fight food insecurity?

OK, how can I help?

Attend the event and learn:
Educating yourself about the long-term drivers of food insecurity will help the community work toward sustainable solutions. The free virtual event is on Nov. 4 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Register now

ABOUT THE IOWA STOPS HUNGER CORPORATE CHALLENGE

What is the Iowa Stops Hunger Corporate Challenge?
Iowa Stops Hunger is a new yearlong statewide initiative created by BPC, in partnership with presenting sponsor Hy-Vee, to drive awareness and action around hunger and food insecurity in Iowa. As part of that effort, nearly 40 organizations have supported our efforts to raise awareness about the issue and have committed to taking at least one action to help stop hunger, while educating their workforce and the community about this critical issue and inspiring others to take action to end hunger in Iowa.

How it works: Each month we will be providing an email to our full audience with an idea or specific action that you, your business and employees can take to help end hunger. In addition, we'll share ongoing coverage from our Business Record and dsm magazine teams about how food insecurity is affecting the state in an effort to keep our community informed.

Everyone can help: Anyone and everyone can help, regardless of whether your company is specifically supporting the Corporate Challenge. Every action, no matter how large or how small, is needed in order to continue sustained awareness and action toward ending hunger. We hope the ideas and coverage we provide each month will inspire you to take at least one action to help end hunger in the community.
