Proclamation: Hunger Free Holidays Month

Posted

Whereas, Iowa is a world leader in producing and supplying quality, nutritious food, and...

Whereas, hunger and poverty are issues of serious concern in the state of Iowa, and...

Whereas, one in nine Iowans and one in seven children struggle with food insecurity across the state, and...

Whereas, more than 1,000 schools, churches, and nonprofit partner agencies are served by Feeding America food banks across all 99 counties, and...

Whereas, during the month of December, a statewide awareness campaign will take place to educate the public and encourage the participation in food drives and charitable donations to reduce hunger and food insecurity across Iowa.

Now, therefore, I, Kim Reynolds, governor of the state of Iowa, do hereby proclaim the month of December 2019 as Hunger Free Holidays Month.
