COVID-19 Procedures: 

​

The food pantry will remain open normal hours, but we will be implementing changes based on the governor’s COVID-19 recommendations:

​

• We will do curb-side service, meaning no clients will come in the pantry. Clients will need to stay in their car or wait at the picnic tables to be served.
• Clients will choose their own food items from a condensed grocery list - we will ask them which items they want, then we go get the items for them and bring them back out.
• We will not have anything outside the pantry (such as bread bins and clothing bins) to stop people from congregating.

• Clothing and Household Items are available by appointment only starting June 15, 2020.  Please call 515-244-6251 option 0 to schedule an appointment. 
• The Essential Household Items Program is closed until further notice.
