Organization: Upper Des Moines Opportunity Food Pantry
Website: Visit the UDMO website
Nominator: Jaclyn Lerdal of Humboldt
As a leading advocate for combating food insecurity in Humboldt County, Jim Danzl is described by those who know him as “kindhearted” and “generous.” Shying away from public recognition, Jim prefers to work behind the scenes to help area families ensure they can put food on the table.
Jim volunteers his time on a nearly daily basis to organize food distribution and make deliveries, maintain the downtown Humboldt food pantry, and offer guidance based on his professional experience.
His work in support of the Upper Des Moines Opportunity Food Pantry, the Humboldt County Mobile Food Pantry provided through the Food Bank of Iowa, and the F.U.E.L. (Food. Uplifting. Essential. Learning.) program for students and their families in the Humboldt School District continues to make a vital difference in his community.
