Season of Giving at Bidwell Pantry

Project Description

Bidwell Pantry is the largest food pantry in Iowa, serving over 21,000 unique individuals last year. As we prepare for the holidays, we anticipate even more families will rely on Bidwell Pantry to feed their families.

We need your help making the season brighter for local teens by giving them the chance to choose something special for themselves. Our goal is to give out 375 gift cards in the amount of $25 to them as a simple but special way to brighten their holidays. Donations will go towards purchasing these gift cards, which will be handed out to Bidwell teens and tweens. We cannot bring this holiday magic to Des Moines families without your help! We’re grateful for your care and support as Bidwell Pantry prepares to enter its 133rd year!
