Fareway Stores and the Iowa Farm Bureau partnered to donate 57,863 pounds of ground beef and turkey to food banks across Iowa as part of the “Meat the Need” campaign. For every 10-pound tube of ground beef sold at Fareway between Oct. 30 and Nov. 4, 1 pound of ground meat was donated to local food banks in partnership with the Iowa Food Bank Association and the Food Bank of Iowa. The donation was provided Wednesday at the Food Bank of Iowa in Des Moines. Fareway CEO Reynolds Cramer, Iowa Farm Bureau President Brent Johnson and food bank representatives spoke about local food donations, food insecurity challenges and the partnerships through the “Meat the Need” campaign.
