Food banks hope to gain from lack of Y2K action

January 5, 2000 By admin

Now that New Year’s Eve is safely behind us, Iowans who hoarded piles of food in their basements may consider donating it to the needy. Karen Ford, executive director of the Food Bank of Iowa, says it’d be a big help if people forked over that extra food, but she’s not expecting too much.Since Iowans like to be prepared for a winter storm that may strand them in their homes, Ford doesn’t expect people to donate all of their stockpiled food right away.Ford says the Food Bank could use the boost — several items in particular.The Food Bank of Iowa serves 325 non-profit pantries and shelters in 42 Iowa counties. The facility is working with the national effort called “Y Go 2 Waste” through America’s Second Harvest. For information, call 800-771-2303 or surf to: www.secondharvest.org
