🎥Freezing for Food Special Interview: Gretchen Nollman from Riverbend Food Bank 🍎
Gretchen Nollman, Food Sourcing Manager at Riverbend Food Bank, visits Chris out at the HNI Trailer at Hy-Vee to discuss the impact of food insecurity in Muscatine and how Freezing for Food supports local families through the Salvation Army.
đź“Š Did you know?
1 in 8 adults in Muscatine faces food insecurity.
For kids under 18, it’s even more urgent—1 in 6 doesn’t know where their next meal is coming from.
đź›’ Every donation makes a difference! Money raised this week provides credits for the Salvation Army to purchase food throughout the year, ensuring help is available when families need it most.
💖 Gretchen’s Key Takeaway: “Food insecurity could affect anyone—your neighbor, a friend, or someone you see every day. Be kind, especially during the holidays, and give where you can.”
We’ll be out at Hy-Vee until Friday at 5 PM! Swing by to donate or contribute to the $5,000 match challenge. Together, we can fight hunger in Muscatine!

Muscatine is a great community. There, I said it. Now, what does that mean?
I’ve lived in Muscatine my entire life, except for a couple years in Iowa City for school. I love Muscatine. Is it perfect? No. Can it be better? Of course. Will it be better? You better believe it.
If you look at the history of Muscatine, it’s been a community that thrives when it exports products and ideas. Whether it’s lumber, pearl buttons, office furniture, grain products, retread tire processes or any other of the products and services Muscatine has exported from this quiet river town, we as a community, have always found a way to not just survive but thrive.
We firmly believe that it’s time for everyone - people in Muscatine, people looking for somewhere to visit, people looking for somewhere to grow their business or people looking for somewhere to start their business - to DISCOVER MUSCATINE.
Because of this belief, our team came together in an office in Historic Downtown Muscatine to produce something everyone in Muscatine can be proud of.
Are we a free newspaper delivered every week to all homes in Muscatine County? Yep
Do we have a web portal that brings together all things Muscatine? Yep
Do we produce video products including local shows featuring local hosts and guests? Yep
Do we help Muscatine businesses connect with people of Muscatine? Yep
Are we 100% locally owned by someone that grew up in Muscatine? Yep
Do our kids go to the same schools as yours? Yep
Do we serve the non-profits of the community, not just by posting their events and press releases, but by volunteering and service on their boards? Yep
Are all of these things important for a local media company? ABSOLUTELY
If you have any questions about Discover Muscatine, what we do or what we can do to better serve Muscatine (including all our surrounding communities), just stop by our office at 215 E 2nd St. in Downtown Muscatine. You’ll find the whole staff, the owner and a whole bunch of cool stuff.
Thanks for your enthusiastic support and confidence in us!
