The Emergency Food Box in Marshalltown has consistently seen an increase in individuals needing assistance over the last year.  They are always looking for donations of food or money.

That is a volunteer with the Emergency Food Box Cindy Staron.  She mentions that donations can be dropped of any time they are open.  Monetary donations are great because the food box can make that dollar stretch further than an individual

Staron mentions that a truck comes at least once a week from the food bank of Iowa.  The new location has allowed them to carry more refrigerated items and overall has been a great upgrade.  You can learn more about the Emergency Food Box on their Facebook page, Emergency Food Box
