BEAMAN, IA. - December 23, 2015 - On Wednesday, Rainbow International of Grundy County and all of their local insurance agencies partners in Grundy, Marshall, and Tama counties finished their first annual Insurance Agency Partnership Food Drive.

Their goal was to collect over 300 lbs of food this season to the over 7,800 food insecure families located in the collection counties.
The totals finally came in!! Rainbow International is extremely proud to announce they, with the help of all of the wonder people at the participating insurance agencies, were able to collect a little over 600 lbs of food and non-perishable items. All of the food collected in each county was dispersed to county food banks such as the Grundy County Food Pantry, the Marshalltown Food Box, Albion ACTS, State Center Community Cupboard, and the Northeast, Northwest, and South Tama County Food Pantries. Each food pantry was incredibly appreciate to receive the donation as most reported unusually high need this season.
