Donors/Partners

The Northeast Iowa Food Bank distributed over 5.6 million pounds of food to individuals, families and our agencies last year.  We would not have been able to accomplish this feat without the generous support of our local daily food industry partners.

We are very fortunate to have local daily donors that provide significant amounts of food.

Donor Comments

Here is what some of our donors say about our partnership.

"As a socially responsible grocery store, Roots Market wants to give back to the community that so generously supports us, and the Northeast Iowa Food Bank does an incredibly efficient job facilitating the link between us and those who need."

~ Rob Stanley, Owner, Roots Market, Cedar Falls
 
“At Panera Bread, we bake all of our bread and bakery items fresh each day, resulting in perfectly good bread, bagels and pastries that would go to waste if it weren’t for our Day-End Dough-Nation partner, the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. We are thrilled to partner with the Food Bank, because they have a fantastic staff of professional and courteous volunteers who show up daily, just like clockwork, to ensure that our day-old bakery items are distributed to those in our community who are most in need. It makes us feel better knowing our bread is helping to ensure someone in our own community doesn’t go hungry that day, and that our associates take pride in the fact that our partnership with the Food Bank helps us to truly fulfill our company’s mission statement of, ‘a loaf in every arm.’”

~Ken Matlack, District Manager, Panera Bread
 
“The Target Cedar Falls Campus is proud to partner with the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. Through this partnership, we can help combat child hunger and its threat to K-12 education and impact on learning."
