Cass County Wellness Coordinator Brigham Hoegh says the Foodbank for the Heartland mobile pantry will be back in Cass County again, twice this summer: in Anita on July 14th, and in Atlantic on August 11th. A mobile pantry a traveling food pantry that delivers food directly to families in need, for a one-day distribution. It is available free-of-charge. Visitors are asked to stay in vehicles with their trunk open. No documentation is needed.

The July 14th event takes place from 5:30-until 7-p.m. (or as supplies last), at the Anita Food Pantry (208 Chestnut Street). Questions may be directed to the Food Bank for the Heartland at 402-315-2555.  The August 11th event is from 4-until 6-p.m., at the Cass County Community Center in Atlantic (805 W. 10th St.). Traffic in the area will be directed by volunteers.

At both sites, you can expect to receive pre-packaged boxes containing one shelf stable box and 3-to-5 varied pre-bagged produce items. The contents are subject to change, however.

If you have any questions or delivery requests in connection with the Atlantic mobile pantry, call Cass County Wellness Coordinator Brigham Hoegh at 712-249-5870 (Or e-mail bhoegh@iststate.edu )
