Community steps up to meet incredible demands of non-profits

In normal times, day to day life can be a struggle for nonprofit organizations. In the wake of COVID-19, that struggle has only gotten more difficult, but North Iowa’s nonprofit organizations have found ways to adjust as demand for services has gone through the roof.  At places like Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank, life looks much different than it did just a year ago. No longer are people allowed to come in and browse for items. Now, a masked volunteer will meet the clients outside, and show them a list of what items the food bank has available, which the client then fills out with the items they need. Only two people are allowed into the facility at once.

Seeing those men stand for my father, looking somber and sharp in full uniform, watching them present a flag to my mother, hearing Taps played, and feeling each retort of the Volley of Three in my chest left me with the most intense feeling of pride I think I ever felt.
