Food Bank for the Heartland provides food resources to our network of nonprofit agencies, and they distribute the food to individuals and families in need throughout Nebraska and western Iowa. With the exception of our programs, we do not distribute food directly to the public. If you are seeking food assistance, please contact one of our partners. Most of these organizations require individuals to supply Social Security cards or original birth certificates, picture I.D. and proof of address for the last 30 days.
