As the federal government reopens, Iowa HHS will issue full SNAP benefits for the month of November.

Benefits are being loaded onto cards now and could be available later today. We anticipate that all SNAP benefits will be issued by Friday, Nov. 14, and recommend that SNAP recipients check their EBT card balances before making a purchase.

You can check your EBT balance by calling the number on the back of your card, 800-359-5802, logging into your ConnectEBT account online, or using the ConnectEBT Mobile app.

Don’t let the flu slow you down this season!

Protect yourself and those around you with a flu shot and a few simple healthy habits. Wash your hands regularly, cover your cough, and stay home when you’re not feeling well.

A little prevention goes a long way in keeping our families and community safe.

While we cannot completely fill the gap (or even come close), our community is doing what we can to help people who are especially food insecure this month. Anticipating higher need and utilizing generous gifts, our food pantry has purchased more food than normal to distribute, and we have prepared take-and-heat meals to distribute tomorrow and will continue to do so. Our pantry hours are 4:00-5:30pm Tuesdays.

We will also serve lunch Noon-1pm Mondays and Fridays. If you cannot get to the pantry or meal and need food, please FB message or call the church 641-743-2715 and leave a message. If you do not get a response, try again. You may also be able to reach out to a neighbor, as many people are willing to help. You are not alone in this community!

See the list of pantry and meal offerings in the graphic below. Thanks to Jena Wiggins for creating it!
