(Atlantic, Iowa) – Cass County mobile food pantry distributions have been scheduled for 2026, with additional dates to be announced later this spring. Mobile food pantries are hosted by community partners across Cass County to help improve access to food for individuals and families in need.

A mobile pantry is a traveling food pantry that delivers 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. Anyone in need is welcome, and no documentation is required. Each vehicle may receive food for up to two households at one time.
