We are a faith-related organization that believes in the importance of prayer, volunteer service and financial giving to help save starving children. We are made up of volunteers from businesses, schools, churches, community organizations and beyond who package meals for delivery to malnourished people in Iowa, across the United States and around the world.

Search for hunger stats in Iowa. It’s a staggering problem — not just in developing countries, but here at home and across the nation. Poverty and crisis tip the scale in hunger’s favor. The question of how to end world hunger can seem daunting, but we ARE making a difference, thanks to our generous donors, volunteers and partners. Every dollar donated, every volunteer hour given and every packaged meal is helping to break the chain of hunger and save lives. Since 2008, Meals from the Heartland has provided over 230 million meals to the hungry in Iowa and around the world.
