Grocery Giveaway and Food Bank

Every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month we have our Grocery Giveaway/Food Bank.

Volunteers should be in the building by 8:00 am to prepare for the giveaway.

What is in the bags varies from week to week depending on availability.

At every Grocery Giveaway we give out approximately 150-200 bags of food.

It’s an amazing morning to volunteer with your family, youth group, small group, or fellow employees to serve those in need.

Please call 563-570-4536 to sign your group up.

It is due to the generosity of the community that we are able to assist so many people with these necessities.

Donation items we always need for the grocery pantry: 

• Plastic grocery bags (clean without holes)
• Reusable grocery bags
• Boxes of cereal (full size)
• Canned Meat (pop-top is best) or meat pouches (Tuna, chicken, etc.)
• Ready-to-eat canned soups and meals (pop-top is best)
• Drinks – bottled water, juice, soda, sports drinks, juice boxes
• Fruit cups or applesauce cups or pop-top canned fruit

When making donations from items in your home, please mind the expiration dates. Canned items that are dented or more than 1 year past the expiration date will have to be thrown away. Other items need to be within the recommended expiration date. We are unable to use any donations of items that have already been openened or partially used.
