SIOUX CITY, Iowa (Iowa Media Wire) — The 2025 June Can Jam is now officially over!
‘June Can Jam’ is a month-long event where locals can donate canned goods to either the police or the fire department, and it serves as a competition between the two departments. The donations are then given to the Siouxland Soup Kitchen to help feed those in need.
So, who won this year’s event?
Sioux City Fire Rescue announced on Tuesday that they won this year’s June Can Jam. Between the two departments, hundreds of canned goods were collected. Also, they were able to raise more than $1,500.
“Even though this was a competition between firefighters and police officers, the real winner was the Siouxland Soup Kitchen. The Soup Kitchen relies solely on private donations, so we encourage everyone to drop any canned or boxed goods all year round. Every can and every dollar helps feed our community,” reads a release from the fire department.
