Food boxes are available once a month to families in need within the 7 county service areas. Contact the local county outreach office for further assistance. Depending on availability, a food box would consist of meats, canned goods, baking products and toiletry items. There is no charge for the food pantry, but basic household information and proof of residency in one of the 7 counties is requested, when applying. The Food Bank of Iowa supplements the food pantry needs.
