The state’s largest food bank plans to host a series of regional roundtable meetings, starting later this month, to address Iowa’s hunger problem, with one of the meetings taking place in Algona. Annette Hacker is spokeswoman for the Food Bank of Iowa, which serves 55 Iowa counties.
Hacker says they’ve held the regional roundtable meetings for the past five or so years and they’ve been well received.
The roundtables are planned for Newton on March 26th, Webster City on March 27th, Panora on March 28th, Albia on April 24th, Fairfield on April 25th and Algona on May 7th. All meetings begin at 10 a.m. Following the roundtable meetings, Food Bank of Iowa representatives will tour community food banks to learn first-hand about their local food insecurity issues.
