Before we fully dive into summer, we want to give a big THANK YOU to our amazing staff members who were recognized at the end of the school year for their years of dedicated service! 💛🖤

Summer should be a time of joy and adventure for children-but for many families, it also brings the challenge of food insecurity when school meals are no longer available. That's why the Pella Community Food Shelf is excited to introduce Healthy Kids Iowa, a new pilot program hosted in coordination with the State of Iowa, and the Food Bank of Iowa. This initiative supports local students and their families by providing access to fresh, nutritious food throughout the summer.
What is Healthy Kids Iowa?
Healthy Kids Iowa helps families with children ages 4-18 access fresh, healthy food during the summer months when school meals are not available.
📍Location: Pella Community Food Shelf
⏰ When: Tuesdays, 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
️ 🗓️Starting: June 10 (and will run throughout the summer)
What Families Can Expect:
Nutritious Food Options: Families can choose from a variety of fresh items each week to take home and prepare balanced meals.
Please mark your Tuesday calendars and take advantage of this additional opportunity to secure some healthy foods this summer!
