NORWALK FOOD PANTRY
& Household Essentials
Ensuring no neighbor goes without the basics. Families and individuals can pick up groceries weekly through a convenient drive-thru, while household essentials - like toiletries and cleaning supplies-are distributed once a month. By combining food and essentials, the pantry helps households meet both meals and everyday needs.
Thursdays
2:00 – 7:00 PM
New Life Lutheran Church.
MOBILE
FOOD PANTRY
Partnering with the Food Bank of Iowa, the Mobile Pantry brings fresh and shelf-stable food directly to the community. It is open the 3rd Monday of even-numbered months, 4:00 – 6:30 PM, at Norwalk Christian Church. Delivery is available by calling 515-474-1427.
FOOD RESCUE
Through partnerships with the Food Bank of Iowa and Supply Hive Rescue, we redirect surplus food from local businesses and events to community fridges, ensuring good food goes to neighbors who need it most.
SHOE LOVE EVENT
When a new school year begins, we want every Norwalk student to feel ready and supported. Our Back-to-School outreach provides children with new shoes, socks, and underwear—simple items that make a big difference. Together, our community ensures kids start the year with dignity, comfort, and a sense of belonging.
