Local Volunteer Opportunities:

 

​

​

Adel Mobile Food Bank is an essential service dedicated to bringing nutritious food directly to our community. By providing fresh produce, canned goods, and other essentials, this initiative actively combats food insecurity in Adel.

Our dedicated volunteers are crucial to the program’s success, helping with distribution and raising awareness about available resources. The mobile food bank not only addresses immediate hunger but also fosters community connections and promotes awareness.

 

This family-friendly event is a wonderful opportunity for groups to serve together, making a positive impact on the well-being of those we assist while connecting with fellow volunteers.  We need help sorting groceries and boxing food monthly. Your support will ensure we can efficiently distribute nutritious food to our community. Join us to make a difference!

 

When:  4th Wednesday of each Month

Time: 4:30-6:00 pm

Where:  New Hope Church North Lobby
