Windsor Heights-Urbandale Food Pantry
 
The Urbandale Food Pantry opened its doors October 2008 to assist Urbandale and Windsor Heights residents in need of food and/or personal care products.  The Food Pantry is operated under the umbrella of the Urbandale Caring Corps with food distributed by the Des Moines Area Religious Council (DMARC).
 
Volunteers are a valuable resource and vital to the effective operation of the Food Pantry, providing many hours of service by processing patrons, filling food orders, and working at a variety of other tasks.
To volunteer, contact your pantry, coordinate at your church or contact the Food Pantry, (515) 251-6688.  All volunteers must complete an application to be considered for work at the pantry and undergo a background check.  Underage volunteers (17 years old or younger) must also present a permission slip signed by a parent.
Donations of food are accepted where all DMARC food barrels are located.  Donations are also accepted at City Hall.
