ABOUT FOOD BANK OF SIOUXLAND by the community, for the community MISSION & HISTORY WASTE TO RESOURCE TEAM MEMBERS BOARD OF DIRECTORS MISSION & HISTORY . The Food Bank of Siouxland is the main food supplier for nonprofit agencies in Siouxland, including food pantries and soup kitchens. We were established to provide a year-round source of food to these organizations. Currently, the Food Bank of Siouxland provides food to member agencies throughout 11 counties in the Siouxland area. These agencies are spread across our region — in Iowa: Woodbury, Ida, Monona, Crawford, Plymouth, Cherokee, Sioux, and Lyon counties; and in Nebraska: Dakota, Thurston, and Burt counties. The Food Bank of Siouxland, Inc. began as an all-volunteer organization known as the Tri-State Food Bank and became incorporated in 1991. We received our 501(c)3 status in 1994. In July 2000, we changed our name to “Food Bank of Siouxland, Inc.” – putting “Food” first! We were founded to serve community charities in Siouxland with feeding programs to nourish those in need, the ill, and children. We continue to that cause today. As a warehouse, we are able to leverage our resources to supply food and other essentials to over 100 member agencies that directly serve families in need. misson and history waste to resource FROM WASTE TO RESOURCE . Each year, about 20 percent of America’s food supply – 140 million tons of food valued at more than $31 billion – goes to waste. Food suppliers often wish to donate food, but the quantity or timing is beyond the capacity or need of any single organization. As a clearinghouse for donated food, the Food Bank of Siouxland forms a partnership with the food industry by collecting, inspecting, sorting, and distributing food to member agencies (food pantries), which provide food directly to those in need. Most of the food comes from the food industry. Often, the reason is overproduction or inventory control. Other reasons include packaging errors, changes in product formulas, the expiration of coupons, or approaching sell-by dates. The United States Department of Agriculture donates USDA Foods, while the public, through numerous community food drives, also donate food to the Food Bank of Siouxland. Major companies, such as General Mills, Nabisco, and Kraft, donate enormous quantities of food to Feeding America, the national network of food banks. The Food Bank of Siouxland’s link to that network is the Food Bank for the Heartland in Omaha, a member of Feeding America.

This translates to 389,250 Iowans being forced to make tough decisions about providing food for their families or paying their rent or mortgage, transportation, or medical bills. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) is available to assist these individuals, but due to lack of access and knowledge of the program, many individuals do not apply to receive benefits. 75% of the individuals accessing emergency food through food pantries, community kitchens, and shelters are eligible for SNAP, but 25% of them have never applied (Hunger in America 2010, Feeding America).

BackPack Program: Food For Kids "The BackPack Program" provides nourishment to children who might have little to no food over the weekend with a sack of food placed in their backpack on Fridays. The Food Bank of Siouxland launched this program in October of 2006. In our first year of the program, four elementary schools in Sioux City received food sacks each week. Participating elementary schools: Sioux City - Bryant, Hunt, Irving, Leeds, Liberty, Loess Hills, Riverside, Unity South Sioux City - Harney, Lewis & Clark Marcus/Meridan/Cleghorn/Remsen/Union - MMCRU These schools have an extraordinarily high rate of students participating in the free and reduced lunch program, so we know that food insecurity is a problem for many of these families. Interested in our BackPack volunteer opportunity? Please email our Program Coordinator Tiffany Kissinger at tiffany@siouxlandfoodbank.org or call 712-255-9741 to be added to our email distribution list. 2025-26 BackPack Program: Food for Kids Group Volunteer Opportunity: Sign up begins the last Monday of August, August 25, 2025. School Mobile Pantry: Food For Families School pantries are located on school grounds, intended to provide a more readily accessible source of food assistance to food insecure students and their families. In many communities, the school is a hub of activity and a resource center for families. Because of the close relationship between students and faculty, school personnel frequently become aware of challenges within the family while dealing with student issues. A school pantry provides a safe, supportive way to help students and their families through a crisis, which in turn helps the child become more successful in school. A snapshot: •The Food Bank of Siouxland provides the product and structure for Mobile School Pantry Program. •Mobile School Pantries are stocked with nutritious foods, similar to a traditional pantry distribution. •The Mobile School Pantries ensure students have the food they need to help them grow and thrive, which furthers learning. This program is made possible thanks to the support of many individuals and organizations who help fund the program and who volunteer their time to serve those in need. EVENTS .
