Abby Turpin of the Northeast Iowa Food Bank presented the organization's $14 million Capacity Campaign and asked the Poweshiek County Board to consider a $25,000 pledge, noting the food bank serves 16 counties and assists more than 45,000 people via 127 partner agencies.
Abby Turpin, representing the Northeast Iowa Food Bank, told the Poweshiek County Board of Supervisors that the food bank is conducting a $14 million Capacity Campaign to renovate and expand its Black Hawk County facility. Turpin asked Poweshiek County to consider a $25,000 pledge toward the campaign and said the county's contribution could be paid over multiple years to ease budgeting.
Turpin described the food bank's regional role: it serves 16 counties, assists more than 45,000 individuals facing food insecurity, and works through a network of 127 partner agencies that deliver food weekly to local organizations. Dawn Hamilton, mayor of the City of Malcom, joined the presentation online; the minutes record the request but do not show a board decision or any vote on a pledge at this meeting.
