(Atlantic, Iowa) – Cass County’s February Mobile Food Pantry distribution in Atlantic and Massena scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 12th, have been postponed due to weather and will now take place on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.

Atlantic’s Mobile Food Pantry distribution will be held at the Cass County Fairgrounds on Feb. 26th, while Massena’s Mobile Food Pantry will be on the East Side of Massena’s City Park. The mobile pantries are hosted by community partners across Cass County and serve residents in need throughout the area.

A mobile pantry is a traveling food pantry that provides food directly to families for a one-day distribution. People from surrounding towns and communities are welcome. Mobile food pantries are available free of charge, and anyone in need is encouraged to attend—no documentation is required. Each vehicle may pick up food for up to two households at a time.

For additional information or questions, please contact Grace McAfee, Community Wellness Coordinator, at (712) 250-8170 or by email at mcage@casshealth.org.
