  • 21 MAY 2020 - DES MOINES, IOWA: FRANK COWNIE, the mayor of Des Moines, carries a bag of meals to people in a drive through emergency food distribution in Evelyn K. Davis Park in central Des Moines. All of the 485 meals were distributed in about an hour. The economic fallout of the pandemic is being felt throughout Iowa. On May 21, 2020, Iowa reported that 187,375 people had filed for unemployment since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic shutdown. Emergency food pantry has also increased in that time, as many Iowans in low wage jobs used emergency food banks and pantries for the first time. The Food Bank of Iowa said Thursday that demand in April 2020 was 31% higher than demand in April 2019, mostly because of unemployment caused by the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. The emergency food distribution Thursday was organized by the city of Des Moines, Food Bank of Iowa, Central Iowa Shelter and Services, Urban Dreams and Orchestrate Hospitality.

The Ames Main Street Farmers' Market reopened Saturday after nearly a month of only online sales because of Iowa's bans on large gatherings caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Only about 15 venders set up stalls Saturday and attendance was significantly lower than normal. All of the venders wore face masks and many, but not all, of the shoppers wore face masks. Farmers' markets are popular community gatherings in Iowa, but they've been on hiatus since the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic.

  • 16 MAY 2020 - PERRY, IOWA: A volunteer directs a client into a parking spot during a drive through Foodbank of Iowa emergency pantry at Crossroads Church in Perry. Food insecurity has skyrocketed in Iowa because of the pandemic shutdowns. The emergency pantry in Perry distributed all 200 meal boxes in less than 45 minutes. Emergency food pantry use has more than doubled in Perry since March. The Tyson pork processing plant in Perry is the community's largest employer. It had been shut down for deep cleaning because many workers in the plant tested positive for COVID-19. Since the start of the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic and resulting shutdowns, nearly 300,000 Iowans, representing 20% of the eligible workforce, have applied for unemployment benefits in Iowa. Even though the Governor has reopened the Iowa economy, the number of COVID-19 infections continues to increase.       PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 30 APRIL 2020 - STANHOPE, IOWA: Stanhope Locker and Market, in Stanhope, Iowa. The family owned meat locker slaughters and butchers beef cattle, pigs, and sheep. The COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2/Coronavirus) pandemic has spread among employees in the meat packing plants in the Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota, forcing many to close or curtail operations. This has resulted in farmers euthanizing thousands of pigs and beef cattle. Pork production has been slashed by about 40% because of the pandemic. Meat lockers and family owned butchering facilities have been swamped with farmers and ranchers trying to sell their livestock to them rather than the meat packing plants, but the meat lockers are backed up by the huge increase in supply. Many meat lockers are now full through the end of the year. Stanhope Locker and Market doesn't have any openings for slaughtering and butchering either cattle or pigs until mid-December 2020.

  • 23 MAY 2020 - AMES, IOWA: People wearing face masks shop at an ornamental flower stand at the Farmers' Market in downtown Ames. The Ames Main Street Farmers' Market reopened Saturday after nearly a month of only online sales because of Iowa's bans on large gatherings caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Only about 15 venders set up stalls Saturday and attendance was significantly lower than normal. All of the venders wore face masks and many, but not all, of the shoppers wore face masks. Farmers' markets are popular community gatherings in Iowa, but they've been on hiatus since the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. At this time, Iowa farmers' markets are not allowed to have entertainment or sell non-food or non-agricultural goods.         PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 16 MAY 2020 - PERRY, IOWA: A volunteer loads food into a car during a drive through Foodbank of Iowa emergency pantry at Crossroads Church in Perry. Food insecurity has skyrocketed in Iowa because of the pandemic shutdowns. The emergency pantry in Perry distributed all 200 meal boxes in less than 45 minutes. Emergency food pantry use has more than doubled in Perry since March. The Tyson pork processing plant in Perry is the community's largest employer. It had been shut down for deep cleaning because many workers in the plant tested positive for COVID-19. Since the start of the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic and resulting shutdowns, nearly 300,000 Iowans, representing 20% of the eligible workforce, have applied for unemployment benefits in Iowa. Even though the Governor has reopened the Iowa economy, the number of COVID-19 infections continues to increase.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 30 APRIL 2020 - STANHOPE, IOWA: A motorist drives past Stanhope Locker and Market, in Stanhope, Iowa. The family owned meat locker slaughters and butchers beef cattle, pigs, and sheep. The COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2/Coronavirus) pandemic has spread among employees in the meat packing plants in the Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota, forcing many to close or curtail operations. This has resulted in farmers euthanizing thousands of pigs and beef cattle. Pork production has been slashed by about 40% because of the pandemic. Meat lockers and family owned butchering facilities have been swamped with farmers and ranchers trying to sell their livestock to them rather than the meat packing plants, but the meat lockers are backed up by the huge increase in supply. Many meat lockers are now full through the end of the year. Stanhope Locker and Market doesn't have any openings for slaughtering and butchering either cattle or pigs until mid-December 2020.
