Please read below to learn more about Food Bank of Siouxland . Midwest Family Lending has chosen to support this great cause in the month of July and we encourage you to as well.

One in five kids in the Siouxland area are at-risk for hunger. “BackPack programs” are a type of take-home food program for elementary school students in need. The purpose of the program is to provide a weekly backpack of shelf-stable food to get these students through the weekend when school meals are not available to provide nourishment. Our sacks contain two cereal pouches, two lunch or dinner meals, a fruit cup, fruit juice, and milk. They are handed out at the participating schools on the last day of the school week.

Our program is supported entirely by gifts, grants and donations. In order to make the magic happen, we rely on the financial support of the community. With each sack costing an average of $4.00, the program expenses are always a challenge for the Food Bank of Siouxland. Any and all monetary donations are most welcome.

Can you imagine the fear, anger, confusion, and pure shock of having your child diagnosed with cancer? Children’s Cancer Connection exists to provide support, education, and recreation for the entire family throughout the entire journey. Many great organizations are working to find cures for the more than 13,500 children diagnosed each year in the United States. Children’s Cancer Connection strives to provide the care of a cancer diagnosis.

Cancer Doesn’t Care… but We Do!

Children’s Cancer Connection is a nonprofit based in Des Moines, Iowa helping all pediatric patients and their families who may be diagnosed, treated, or lives in Iowa. We support the entire family, the entire journey through programs and services which are provided at little cost or free for families. We offer support groups for parents, siblings, teens and young adults, oncology and sibling summer camps, survivorship services, scholarships, and various resource and education materials. This is made possible thanks to many caring people providing funding and volunteer support. Annually, Children’s Cancer Connection uses more than 35,000 volunteer hours to provide our programs and services. Donations to help kids with cancer and their families are received from many sources. Children’s Cancer Connection hosts fundraising efforts like the Flapjack 5k / 10k run and Camping the Night Away. We sell Christmas and Holiday Cards drawn by the children we serve. We receive donations from individuals, clubs and corporations. We are supported by grants from foundations. Fund Raising by Friends is one of our best resources – individuals and companies host fundraising events from bake sales to volleyball tournaments, and from golf outings to garage sales and they choose Children’s Cancer Connection to benefit from their charity event. They are partners in our effort to bring comfort to families affected by pediatric cancer.
