(Cass County, Iowa) – A reminder from the Cass County Local Food Policy Council:  Atlantic and Massena are hosting mobile food pantries this month on Wednesday afternoon, July 12. 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.
