The World Food Prize Foundation announced Ann McGlynn, founder and executive director of Tapestry Farms in Davenport as the recipient of the 2025 Robert D. Ray Iowa SHARES Humanitarian Award. McGlynn is recognized for her leadership in advancing sustainable food access throughout the Quad Cities, where her nonprofit reclaimed underutilized land to grow more than 20,000 pounds of fresh, culturally relevant produce. McGlynn will be awarded the Iowa SHARES Award at the World Food Prize Foundation’s annual Iowa Hunger Summit on July 16 at the Norman E. Borlaug Hall of Laureates in Des Moines. “Ann McGlynn’s work with Tapestry Farms is a powerful example of how a local initiative can turn untapped land into vital sources of fresh food,” Mashal Husain, president, World Food Prize Foundation, said in a prepared statement. “Her commitment to expanding sustainable food access across the Quad Cities embodies the values of compassion, resilience and community the Robert D.
