Help Support the Adel Good Samaritan Food Pantry Wish List

The Adel Good Samaritan Food Pantry has had strong community and area support for over 35 years.

This support is critical to helping our small non-profit organization serve the families in our region who are “food insecure.”

Your donations of staple groceries and fresh produce are vital to providing healthy and well-rounded food choices for our clients. But just as important are your regular financial contributions.

To keep our Pantry fully-stocked, we buy food weekly from the Food Bank of Iowa, local and regional grocery wholesalers and suppliers. We also have modest overhead costs for staff, rent, utilities, insurance and transportation.

Here is our current “WISH LIST” of ways you can help Good Samaritan Food Pantry continue to serve the growing number of adults and children in our area who would go to bed hungry many nights without your gifts and donations.

A gift of $50 will buy 6 cases (144 boxes) of macaroni and cheese
A gift of $100 will buy 7 cases (84 jars) of peanut butter
A gift of $115 will cover our utilities for a month ($1,400 for a year)
A gift of $280 will cover our rent and insurance for a month ($3,360) for a year.)
A gift of $400 will provide weekend backpacks for Middle School and High School for a month ($4,800 a year.)
A gift of $750 will help stock the Pantry with food staples for a week ($3,000 a month.)
A gift of $1,000 will buy 350 pounds of fresh meat and chicken we give to each family.
