Food is a fundamental human need, one that many Iowans struggled to meet, even before the COVID-19 crisis. Now, after nearly 60,000 Iowans applied for unemployment insurance last week — and with economy on the cusp of a recession — food security is now top concern for many.
Like many food banks across the state, the Coralville Community Food Pantry is on the front lines supporting Iowans — one bag of food at a time. Executive Director John Boller talks about the short- and long-term challenges facing the community, and how his organization is stepping up to meet Iowans' most basic needs.
