The Elderbridge Agency on Aging is hosting the “Slam Dunk” Against Hunger online fundraiser beginning this weekend to address increasing food insecurity among older Iowans and their caregivers. With rising inflation and living costs, many rely on Elderbridge’s congregate and home-delivered meals for their daily sustenance. Bidders interested in the auction can sign up for the “Slam Dunk” Against Hunger on the 32Auctions website. Details on how to participate are included with this story on our website. The auction offers diverse items, and bids can be made online through Sunday, March 3. Donations are also accepted via checks payable to Elderbridge Agency on Aging or through PayPal using the link found online. The fundraiser aims to alleviate waiting lists for nutrition programs, with all funds designated to specific meal sites, counties, or the general nutrition budget. Elderbridge, serving a 29-county region in North Central, Northwest, and Central Iowa, encourages community support to enable older Iowans to live independently with dignity and well-being.
