Better Together Committee
• Significant fear among immigrant populations
• Increased reluctance from businesses
• Impacts on college students
• New vulnerabilities for families
• Lots of uncertainty about changing policies
Page 35 of 950
Food Provider Network
• Trends were in the wrong direction the past few years
• Increased needs and costs, fewer donations
• Not as much excess from manufacturers and wholesalers
• USDA funds being cut to food providers
• Lack of USDA funds to Iowa Food Hub will impact farmers
• Short-term impact, but also for future years
Page 36 of 950
Food Provider Network
• Expect tariffs to impact food imports
• Policies may impact domestic food production
• Agricultural workers
• Tariffs increase prices for inputs (fertilizers)
• Big concern is supply of food
• If organizations are impacted, it could hurt niche
populations that can't shift providers,
• Homebound, immigrants, senior citizens, people w/disabilities,
children
