Fareway Launches November Campaign to Combat Food Insecurity

Fareway is doing its part to help combat food insecurity.

Throughout November, customers can choose to purchase pre-bagged donations, donate individual items or make a monetary contribution. 

• Pre-Bagged Donations: Customers can purchase pre-bagged, wholesome, SNAP-

eligible food items at any Fareway location. These bags will be distributed directly to

local food banks or pantries near each store.

• Individual Item Donations: Shoppers may also choose to donate individual food

items of their choice.

• Monetary Contributions: Every Fareway check stand will accept donations, with

every dollar going toward purchasing wholesome food products for nearby food

banks or pantries.

Fareway will match all monetary contributions in value throughout this month – that means every dollar donated will go twice as far in helping families in need.

Fareway has local stores in Manchester, Dyersville, Peosta, Monticello, Anamosa, Independence and Oelwein.
