For decades, the Humboldt Ministerial Association Food Pantry and the Upper Des Moines Opportunity Community Outreach Center have been serving those in our communities who have needed a helping hand.
Wednesday, July 28, was a day for the community to give back. Many volunteers joined forces to relocate the food pantry from the west portion of the Humboldt County Engineer’s Office at 2221 220th St., to its new location in the north part of 419 Sumner Ave. There is a gravel drive on the east side of the building for easy loading. The front half of the building is the administrative offices for the Humboldt County Outreach offices of Upper Des Moines Opportunity Inc., the county’s local community action agency.
“The space is amazing,” Alisa Schlief, Family & Community Services Director for UDMO in Humboldt County said. “Having everything in one central location is going to make everything so much easier,” she said.
