Story County Farm Bureau’s Cram the Cab to benefit rural food pantries in Story County Story County Farm Bureau is partnering with the Fareway Store in Nevada to conduct a food drive from June 17 to 29. The goal is to cram a tractor cab with non-perishable groceries that will be donated to local rural food pantries. Customers shopping at the store can round up their grocery purchases to the nearest dollar, purchase a nonperishable item or items and put in the designated cart at Fareway. By rounding up your purchase or making a donation, you can help feed those who struggle with hunger. One out of every eight Iowans struggle with hunger. Food pantries see an increase in demand during the summer months due to schools not being in session. Help SCFB fill an entire tractor cab with non-perishable products during our upcoming “Cram the Cab” food drive. All donations
