DONATE FUNDS.
You can make a difference! Every $1 you give can acquire 5 meals of food through our networks to feed the hungry children, elderly, and families in Siouxland. The Food Bank of Siouxland is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization and donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. Please contact our Associate Executive Director, Valerie Petersen, for more information at valerie@siouxlandfoodbank.org.
Please Note:
Make sure to specify if you’d like your donation to go to a specific project. If you would like your donation to be given in someone else’s name, please send a note along with your check including the person’s name, clarify whether it is simply honoring that person, in lieu of gifts for a special occasion, or in memory of that person. Then, also please include the name and mailing address where we can send a letter of recognition to that person (or their family for memorial donations).

HOW IT HELPS…
Fundraisers make an especially significant impact because every $1 donated to the Food Bank provides 5 meals to families.
​
A food drive could consist of a variety of non-perishable items, or you could focus on one particular item such as cereal, peanut butter, canned tuna, or macaroni and cheese. You can also collect personal care items, which are always welcome donations.
​
Donations of either food or money are always appreciated. If you prefer to donate money, you may send the check directly to the Food Bank, or view the information above to pay via secure online processor Network for Good.
​
Any contribution, no matter how big or how small, is greatly appreciated because it all helps us help those in need.
