The Bidwell Pantry in Altoona, IA, is committed to alleviating hunger and providing essential resources to families in need. We offer emergency food assistance to ensure everyone has access to nutritious meals, allowing individuals to focus on breaking the cycle of poverty. Our pantry operates from Monday to Friday, welcoming guests until 4:30 p.m. While we encourage the use of IDs, we understand that not everyone may have one, so we provide a limited amount of food for those without identification. At The Bidwell Pantry, we believe in empowering families by providing the necessary support to help them thrive.
