27 FEBRUARY 2021 - DES MOINES, IOWA: A volunteer pushes a hand truck past a stack of food boxes during an emergency food distribution at the John R. Grubb Community YMCA in Des Moines. The food distribution was organized by Farmers to Families and the YMCA. They had 1,000 boxes of emergency rations which included fresh fruit and vegetables, yogurt, chicken and hot dogs. They also had 1,000 gallons of milk. The neighborhood around the YMCA is a "food desert," with no nearby grocery stores that sell healthy food. Food bank use in Iowa is up more than 60% since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic. Food bank officials estimate that 4 in 10 users are new users of emergency food pantries. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
