Not only are there not leftovers in the town of Postville, Iowa, devastated by the ICE raid that happened there earlier this year, there is a food crisis.
According to Paul Ouderkirk, the local priest in charge of the area food shelves, Postville has literally run out of food. This is where we all come in. As a Coalition in the struggle for immigrant rights, MIRAc (Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Coalition) will be taking a Caravan of Solidarity filled with food and other necessities down to Postville on December 28th. We are sending out this call to the Minnesota/Wisconsincommunity to help us with the food collection. We have spoken with the local food shelves and have a list of the requested items. We will be dropping everything off at the food shelf center to let the current food donation system run its course.
The holiday isn’t over and if you can help donate
directly to Postville.
