Siouxland Food Bank receives record donation

The local source article “Siouxland Food Bank receives record donation,” dated March 1, 2024, reports Food Bank of Siouxland received a record 80,000-pound frozen-chicken donation from Perdue Farms and Feeding America for Leap Day 2024. Radio Iowa’s March 1 report quoted director Jacob Wanderscheid explaining that the food bank had worked with Perdue to split delivery into two shipments around available warehouse space. Distribution through partners, including Hope Food Pantry in Sioux Center, was expected to begin the following Monday. The donation was part of a nationwide Perdue effort, but the local storage and dispatch arrangements were specific to Siouxland’s load.

The March 1, 2024 account described a freezer-capacity decision made ahead of distribution. The food bank expected the chicken to use its frozen space and had worked on dividing the donation into two shipments. Partner distribution was scheduled to begin soon afterward, so the interval between incoming loads and outgoing food mattered more than the headline quantity alone.

For a comparable Northwest Iowa donation, a temporary mobile refrigeration trailer could be considered if staged deliveries still leave more frozen stock than the permanent room can hold.
