Food & Clothing Help
No Iowan should go hungry or cold
Food & Clothing Help builds on what we already do. Iowa Victory Gardens grow fresh food for local pantries, and our Holiday Giving Tree helps families each winter. This program adds year-round help with clothing and coats, and more hands for food deliveries.
We work through local partners such as food pantries and clothing closets that already serve their communities. We collect, sort, and deliver; they get it to the people who need it.
What volunteers do
- Run coat and clothing drives at events, workplaces, and community spaces
- Sort and deliver donations to partner clothing closets and pantries
- Help with Victory Garden deliveries, getting fresh harvests to pantries
- Find partners: local pantries, clothing closets, schools, and shelters that welcome donations
- Share where to find help, using our food bank finder
Donating clothing
- Most needed: warm coats, hats, gloves, boots, and socks, in all sizes for kids and adults
- New, or clean and in good condition. Please wash clothing before donating.
- New socks and underwear only
- We pass donations to partners who decide what they can use; items they can’t use go to other local charities
