Kalona, Riverside and Wellman plan third pantry

Posted

The cities of Riverside, Kalona and Wellman will again join forces to provide food for those in need.

A combined drive-up food pantry will be held from 9-11 a.m., Saturday at the Kalona city shop, 711 A Ave.

Saturday’s distribution will be the third pop-up pantry that the cities have combined resources to hold.

The May 2 pantry had a pick-up location in each city, but this week’s distribution will only be in Kalona.

However, the pantry is open to residents of all three communities.

Kalona City Administrator Ryan Schlabaugh said that the food that will be distributed is being purchased through the Hawkeye Area Community Action Program, with other items coming from JW’s Foods in Kalona and Freeman Foods in Wellman.

For those who are unable to make the trip to the distribution site, deliveries can be arranged.

Residents of Kalona should call City Hall at 319-656-2310. Residents of Wellman can call City Hall at 319-646-2154. Riverside residents can call 319-930-8440.

Schlabaugh said anyone needing after-hours assistance can call 319-936-9354.
