From the Mason CIty Clinic:

Many Iowans are struggling to put food on the table this holiday season. Data compiled by Feeding America reveals that nearly 376,000 people are struggling with hunger in Iowa, 122,000 of whom are children. That translates to one in eight adults and one in six children struggling with hunger.  [emphasis added]
