DES MOINES, Iowa (Gray Media Iowa Capitol Bureau) - All five regional food banks across Iowa have raised enough money to split a $1 million state match announced by Governor Kim Reynolds.

The requirement was announced on November 1st to help Iowans who weren’t receiving their federal food assistance because of the partial federal government shutdown.

Food banks reached their goals within a day or two of the governor’s announcement.

The food banks distribute to hundreds of food pantries around the state. The money food banks were required to raise to receive the state match was based on the number of people they serve who receive federal SNAP benefits.

Fundraising totals by region

Food Bank of Iowa raised over $400,000. It serves 55 of the state’s 99 counties.
