Iowa Concern is Here for You

We’re taking a pause from our usual food and cooking content today to share a valuable resource with our readers. We all have days when stress feels like it is weighing us down. Whether it is stress related to work, relationships or money, sometimes we need help to manage it all. This is why the Iowa Concern hotline exists. Iowa Concern is a service of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach designed to help callers navigate challenges and help to find solutions.

Home Questions? – Call AnswerLine

When I was a student at Iowa State University, I worked in a job where I shared an office with an amazing resource. That resource was AnswerLine – a hotline that answers your questions about home, food, and family. As a young adult starting a home of her own, the AnswerLine folks gave me tips on food safety, food preservation, and cleaning. A few years later, I found myself working at Iowa State University again. Throughout my career, AnswerLine has been there to help me when I have tough questions about food and nutrition. As a mom, I rely on AnswerLine for tips on getting stains out of laundry. If you cannot tell already, I love AnswerLine and I want to share this resource with you today!
