As a token of appreciation to frontline health workers, Iowa Corn farmers provided 1,500 pizzas and 12-packs of Coke products to more than 100 hospitals in Iowa communities.
“Iowa Corn farmers say thank you, and we are stronger together in these difficult times,” said Iowa Corn Promotion Board (ICPB) President Roger Zylstra, a farmer from Sully, IA. “As the healthcare professionals are relentlessly keeping us and our families safe, Iowa’s corn farmers and livestock producers are working hard to continue to provide a safe, secure food system.”
The food and beverages were donated through a partnership with Casey’s General Stores.
“Casey’s is proud to partner with Iowa Corn farmers and Atlantic Bottling to say thanks to healthcare workers. Now more than ever, we all appreciate and applaud the courage of these workers who are serving our communities,” said Katie Petru, Director of Communications for Casey’s General Stores.
