(Urbandale, IA) — The Iowa State University Extension Concern Line has had no shortage of issues to address with its free service. Coordinator Tammy Jacobs says things have stayed busy since the spring of 2019 flooding in western Iowa and has continued through the COVID-19 pandemic. She says the number of callers each month varies from 500 to one thousand. Jacobs says they can help callers with a variety of resources — including mental health services, employment, food stamps, and pantries.
