Join our September 2025 Micro Nutrition Fundraiser!
Help us feed older Adults who are food insecure through a fun and easy calendar challenge!
How it works.
Sponsor a "date" on the calendar and donate the amount equal to the day of the month. For example:
- September 1st = $1
- September 5th = $5
- September 17th = $17
You can choose one day or multiple days. You can also sponsor a "free space" and choose the donation in any amount that works for you. Write in the comments which day or days you would like to host and what your payment method will be. You may pay directly through PayPal or you can pay with cash or check at your nearest office location. (Mason City, Spencer, Fort Dodge or Carroll) PayPal link: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3KZ6GMS55LT9E

Average meals costs are $10/day and your donation will help provide nutritious meals to those in need. Let's fill the calendar and fight food insecurity together! If you have any questions, please call Laura Allen at 641-847-4276. Thank you for your participation!

The "WHY" of the fundraiser:

Older Iowans are experiencing food insecurity at an increasing rate due to inflation and the overall cost of living. Many rely on the Elderbridge Home-delivered, Congregate meals, and Emergency for their primary daily food intake.

State and federal funding for meal programs has not increased to meet the growing demand for older Iowans’ nutritional assistance.

Elderbridge is asking for assistance for our congregate and home-delivered meals. Donation support will assist us in reducing the need for waiting lists for our nutrition programs.
