Meet the team
With our extensive knowledge of the food system, Eat Greater Des Moines staff know what works and what doesn’t.
We also know it’s time to make change by feeding more people with food that would otherwise be thrown away.
By focusing on pressure points in the system — and testing innovative solutions — we create extraordinary change without significant resources.
