Support Iowa Food Co-op, Support Iowa Farmers

Support Iowa Food Co-op = Support Iowa Farmers

The Iowa Food Cooperative needs your help! After the loss of the LFPA and LFS programs this March - grant money that was already promised to us - the Iowa Food Co-op planning a new path forward. Our transparent, low fee model is essential for our work in supporting farmers and helping people access fresh, local foods; however, we need to increase revenues in order to continue in this mission.

While our board and staff revitalize the business plan and make necessary changes, we need a runway. Your donation will help us get through this year.

We’re not too proud to ask for help. As a cooperative, we are rooted in community. So this is our request: if you believe in supporting small food producers; if you want to help us create a year-round market for local food; help the co-op grow by contributing to our campaign and spread the word to like-minded people you know.

What’s coming in the future? We’re developing a new tiered membership program which will allow us to have a more reliable source of funding while continuing to transparently bring fresh, local food to all members. We would appreciate your support while we work on continuing with our mission: connecting our community to local farmers, artisans, and healthful products year round.
