Cass County Republicans recently made $100 donations to the Anita Food Pantry and The Lord’s Cupboard in Griswold.

The Anita Food Pantry was established over 25 years ago and is open the 1st and 3rd Saturdays each month.  The nine board members are also volunteers at the pantry, which helps over 600 families each year.  They currently need paper products, soup, cereal and canned goods.  Delivering the donation is Cathy Zimmerman, Cass County Republican Central Committee Treasurer (center) to board members Cathie Alff (left) and Jodi Irlmeier (right).

The Lord’s Cupboard in Griswold was established over 20 years ago and is currently housed in the Methodist Church.  It is open the 2nd and 4th Tuesday each month from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.  Seven to ten volunteers help distribute food on those days and serve about 700 families annually.  To keep the pantry stocked, canned meat, cereal, canned goods and toilet paper are needed.  Accepting the donation from CCRCC Treasurer Cathy Zimmerman (far right) are (left to right) Daryl Dorscheimer (volunteer), Barb Schroeder (church secretary) and Tim Amos (volunteer).
