Sunday, Iowa residents came together for a town hall asking what they can do about three proposed CO2 pipelines. Each one would go through dozens of counties in Iowa.
“We come early because we know the line is going to be long,” said Jane Hout.
Especially long this day, the majority of food pantries were closed over Christmas, driving up the need.
“I don’t know if we were necessarily expecting the dramatic extra cars,” said Mike Hornacek, President and CEO of Together Inc.’
Together Inc. now serves nearly 4 times the number of people in 2020 than they would in a typical year.
“You know to tie it to the stimulus that was signed last night, maybe there’s a little bit of relief there,” said Hornacek.
It’s a relief to those in line as well. Shawn Anderson lost his job due to the pandemic and hasn’t been able to find consistent work since.
