We’re open this Saturday, May 2 from 12:00–2:00 PM and ready to serve you!

If you or your family could use a little extra support with groceries or household essentials, we’re here for you. Our pantry is available to individuals and families in the Adel, DeSoto, Minburn, Van Meter, Redfield, Linden and Dexter communities who may be experiencing food insecurity—whether it’s short-term or ongoing.

New to the pantry? You are absolutely welcome. We know it can feel like a big step, but our team is here to make the process simple, respectful, and judgment-free.

Stop by, say hello, and let us help lighten the load a bit. 💛

Yesterday we held the annual volunteer appreciation party for our 75+ volunteers and couldn't be more thankful for this warm, generous, resilient and service-hearted group!
Thank you to the Holy Smokers from Faith Lutheran Church & Preschool for smoking delicious meat and to everyone who donated to make our volunteers feel the love!

We are grateful for partnerships that help fill the needs in our communities!
