Food access sites have had a 43% increase in visitors since 2020, and that number continues to climb in the wake of SNAP cuts.
25,000 Iowans have lost access to SNAP since the introduction of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” a year ago, including 10,000 children, refugees and asylees, and older Iowans and individuals with disabilities.
Our social safety net is eroding, leaving more families struggling to put food on the table.

For every meal a pantry can provide, SNAP benefits provide nine meals.
