TP CommUnity is a wrap, and we're so grateful to groups like Gloria Dei Lutheran Church who donated just shy of 400 lbs. of toilet paper to the food pantry!
When budgets are tight, many of our neighbors are left to choose between food and "luxuries" like toilet paper and other hygiene products.

With federal support and programs uncertain, LOST is a local lever we can pull right now. Iowa City’s plan dedicates 15% to community partnerships, the organizations people turn to in crisis, while protecting essentials from the tax. It’s how we keep neighbors fed, housed, and connected.

On an average Saturday, CommUnity Food Pantry serves 180 families... This past Saturday, we served 285.
YOU can make a big difference by hosting a food drive. Large-scale food donations like this make a big impact because we can turn around and distribute the food to those in need immediately.

This is the second longest government shutdown ever, and it is likely that there will be no SNAP distribution November 1.
Every $1.20 you donate provides one meal for our neighbors facing hunger.
