The United Way of Story County, along with partner organizations, is fighting hunger. From April 22 to May 2nd, we are conducting a food drive to fight hunger in Story County.
Hunger is real. The statistics are scary and steady. More than one in four children in Story County continues to be eligible to receive free/reduced lunch.
Once summer break starts, these children won’t have access to school-provided meals. Therefore, the need for food at local food pantries is even greater during the summer months.
Not sure what to donate? See the list below for most needed pantry items!
