Food insecurity is becoming more prevalent as many Iowans struggle to keep or find work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Food Bank of Iowa has changed how they serve Des Moines Public School families to provide a safer experience for all involved.
If you're a DMPS family in need of food assistance, know the DMPS School Pantries are completely free, you don't have to show ID and you can pick up food as often as you need.
To ensure families and volunteers are safe, food is delivered to you in your vehicle. There's no need to go inside.
