(Cass Co) Mobile Food Pantries are coming to Atlantic and Massena on October 11 and Anita on October 18. These will be the last mobile food pantry distributions for 2023.
A mobile pantry is a traveling food pantry that delivers food directly to families in need 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 car can take food for up to two households at a time. Both Atlantic and Massena will be distributing the same food products. If supplies run low in Massena, families will be directed to Atlantic. Please note- the location for the Massena distribution has been moved to the Massena City Park due to road construction.

The Massena Mobile Food Pantry is open from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. on October 11th. Due to construction on Clarke Avenue, the Mobile Food Pantry will be distributing boxes in the Massena City Park
