On Monday, October 19, the Northeast Iowa Food Bank will welcome Roger Thurow for a discussion about his latest book, Abiding Hunger: An American Paradox.

After spending decades reporting on hunger around the world, including 30 years with The Wall Street Journal, Thurow turns his attention to hunger right here in America. His latest book explores why millions of Americans struggle to put food on the table in one of the wealthiest countries in the world.

We invite you to join us for this important conversation about hunger, the challenges families face, and what we can do to help.

📅 Monday, October 19
🕙 10:00–10:45 a.m.
📍 Northeast Iowa Food Bank, 1605 Lafayette St. in Waterloo, Office entrance

Copies of Abiding Hunger will be available for purchase for $20, with 100% of the proceeds generously donated by Thurow to the Northeast Iowa Food Bank.

We hope you'll join us. Thank you for standing with us.
