Free meals handed out by Iowa Falls business
Iowa Falls-based Iowa Select Farms wrapped up its Operation Christmas Meal program this week, having passed out 17,000 free pork loins to needy Iowans during a dozen events across the state.
Jen Sorensen, at Iowa Select, says there were long lines of cars and trucks at every stop as the pandemic has made this such a difficult year for so many Iowans who’ve lost their jobs or lost income. “You think about schools not being in session and children, that’s their chance to get a lunch and sometimes a breakfast, too,” Sorensen says. “This is when you start to see hunger levels really spike.”
