(Cass County, Iowa) – Cass County Wellness Coordinator Brigham Hoegh says mobile food pantries will be held in both Atlantic and Anita in October. A mobile pantry is a traveling food pantry that delivers food directly to families in need for a one-day distribution. Mobile food pantries are available free of charge. Anyone in need is welcome, and no documentation is required.  People from surrounding towns and communities are welcome. Visitors are asked to stay in their vehicles with the trunk open.

Cars can take food for up to two households. Households without transportation to the Atlantic Mobile Pantries can contact Cass County Wellness Coordinator Brigham Hoegh about delivery. Delivery is offered on a limited basis.
