We will host our annual 6 week Student Food Drive from October 1 – November 12. We will begin this six-week adventure with a Launch Party & Kickoff on Monday October 1. The event will begin at 5:00 p.m. and will take place at the Northeast Iowa Food Bank, located at 1605 Lafayette Street in Waterloo. Join students, sponsors and Food Bank supporters as we begin this important 6-week drive with a fun and competitive hour of games and hunger trivia.

The purpose of the Student Food Drive is to unite and empower area high school students in the commitment to feed hungry families and to promote volunteerism. Students from 8 northeast Iowa schools will host events and fundraisers in an effort to collect or purchase food for the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. The Student Food Drive serves as a friendly competition which will benefit those who are hungry in Northeast Iowa, as well as the students and schools involved.
