The Iowa Hunger Summit seeks to gather leaders from across Iowa representing community organizations, business and industry, state and local government, social agencies, churches and religious communities, schools and universities, and other individuals and groups that lead or participate in projects to confront hunger. Join us at the 2012 Iowa Hunger Summit as we:
- Celebrate the many outstanding efforts of Iowans toward ensuring adequate food for all;
