Siouxland Food Bank Gets Record Donation

Sioux City, Iowa — The Food Bank of Siouxland got a record-breaking donation recently from Perdue Farms and the Feeding America program.

Food Bank Director Jacob Wanderscheid says Perdue delivered 80 thousand pounds of frozen chicken breasts.

He says it will fill up their freezer space.

Gary Malenke is the senior vice president of Perdue Farms in Sioux Center, and says the Siouxland donation is part of a larger overall effort.

The Siouxland area covers 11 counties and it is estimated that more than 25 thousand residents don’t have enough food, including 42 percent of all children.
