Thank you, John Deere Foundation! 🌽

Yesterday, we attended the announcement for the Farm-to-Plate initiative. This $18.5 million grant will be shared across food banks, with roughly $13 million staying in Iowa.

Food banks will be able to purchase food directly from local farmers and distribute it through the charitable food system. This not only feeds people, it also supports our farmers.

Right now, 20 Iowa producers partner with food banks, and that number will grow to roughly 117 farmers statewide.

This initiative will give our neighbors access to nutritious, locally grown food, and strengthen families in our communities.

A special shout-out to John Maxwell from Cinnamon Ridge Farms for being an ambassador for this program and for River Bend Food Bank.

Together, we are feeding people today and ending hunger tomorrow.

Know Your Rights at the Polls 🗳️

Voting should be accessible to everyone. Before you head to the polls, it can help to know some basic rights and protections that apply to voters.

📋 You have the right to ask questions. Poll workers are there to help you understand the voting process and how to cast your ballot.

🗳️ You have the right to vote if you are properly registered and eligible. If there is an issue with your registration or eligibility, ask a poll worker what options are available to you.

♿ You have the right to accessible voting. Election officials provide accommodations and accessible voting equipment for voters who need assistance.

🤝 You may receive assistance when permitted by election law. If you need help because of a disability or difficulty reading or marking your ballot, ask a poll worker about your options.

🔒 Your vote is private. You have the right to cast your ballot without others seeing how you voted.

⏰ Don't leave without asking about your options. If you encounter a problem at the polls, speak with a poll worker or election official before leaving.

Election rules and procedures vary by state, so make sure you check the official election information for Iowa or Illinois before Election Day.

Know the process. Know your rights. Be prepared to vote.

On Sept. 29, Iowa and Illinois lawmakers and legislative staff toured our Davenport warehouse, packed food boxes, and talked about hunger and the role of SNAP in our community.

We also honored Rep. Norlin Mommsen with the Iowa Food Bank Association's Hunger Hero Award for his support of the Choose Iowa Food Bank Program.

Charitable food assistance can't replace federal nutrition programs, and the need continues year-round. Advocate, volunteer, or donate to help.

Did you notice more orange last night? 🧡

Bettendorf, Davenport, Moline, and Rock Island all passed proclamations declaring September 29th Hunger Action Day.

Orange is the color of hunger action. Hunger Action Month may be ending, but hunger isn't.

Right now, 1 in 7 people and 1 in 5 children in our community are facing hunger.

Ending hunger takes all of us. Find ways to give, volunteer, or advocate at riverbendfoodbank.org

🏛️ WHO MAKES DECISIONS IN YOUR COMMUNITY?

When you think about elections, you might think about the president, governors, or members of Congress. But some of the decisions that affect your everyday life are made much closer to home.
In the Quad Cities, local government can look a little different depending on which side of the Mississippi you live on. So, what do all those local offices actually do?

➡️ MAYOR
The mayor is the city's chief elected leader and helps set the direction and priorities of city government. Depending on the city, the mayor may also have specific administrative or legislative responsibilities.

➡️ CITY COUNCIL / ALDERPERSONS
City councils make local laws and policies, approve city budgets, and make decisions about things like development, public services, infrastructure, and community priorities.

➡️ COUNTY BOARD
County boards help oversee county government, including budgets, public services, infrastructure, and other responsibilities that extend beyond individual cities.

➡️ SCHOOL BOARD
School board members govern local school districts and make decisions about district policies, budgets, facilities, and educational priorities.

➡️ OTHER LOCAL OFFICES
Depending on where you live, you may also elect township officials, assessors, clerks, treasurers, judges, and other local officials with specific responsibilities.

Why does this matter?
Local government has a direct impact on the communities where we live, work, learn, and raise our families. Understanding who does what can help you become a more informed voter and a more engaged member of your community.

Quad Cities Votes Together is a 100% nonpartisan campaign. We do not support or oppose candidates or political parties. Our goal is to make sure eligible voters across the Quad Cities have access to accurate information and the resources they need to participate in elections.
