(Atlantic, Iowa) – Here’s a reminder from Healthy Cass County: There will be a Food Bank for the Heartland drive through mobile food pantry at the Cass County Community Center in Atlantic, on Wednesday, September 8th from 4-6 PM. People from surrounding communities are welcome. The event runs from 4-until 6-p.m., or as supplies last. Traffic at the Cass County Community Center will be directed by volunteers.

A mobile pantry is a traveling food pantry that delivers food directly to families in need for a one-day distribution. The mobile pantry is available free of charge. Visitors are asked stay in their vehicles with the trunk open. Each household will receive 1 shelf stable mobile community box, 1 loaf of bread, and one produce box. Each vehicle can take food for two households. If food is needed for multiple households, contact County Wellness Coordinator Brigham Hoegh at 712-249-5870.

Anyone in need is welcome. No documentation needed. People from surrounding towns and communities are welcome. Food distribution and delivery is made possible with volunteers. Volunteering requires repeatedly lifting up to 20 pounds, but some less-strenuous positions are available. To volunteer contact Cass County Wellness Coordinator Brigham Hoegh at 712-249-5870. Thank you!
