(Area) The Cass County Local Food Policy Council has released the dates for upcoming mobile food pantries in the county. The first 2025 mobile food pantries will take place on Wednesday, February 12, at locations in Atlantic and Massena. Community partners across Cass County host the pantries.
A mobile pantry is a traveling food pantry that delivers food directly to families needing 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 car can take food for up to two households at a time. For any additional information or questions, don’t hesitate to contact Grace McAfee, Community Wellness Coordinator, at (712) 250-8170 or by email at mcage@casshealth.org.
