The Bidwell Pantry in West Des Moines, IA, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance and clothing to families in need, helping to alleviate the pressures of poverty. By meeting basic nutritional needs through our emergency food pantry, we empower individuals to focus on their long-term goals and break the cycle of poverty. Our pantry is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., welcoming all to check in by 4:30 p.m. While we prefer IDs for verification, we ensure every family has access to a limited amount of food, regardless of identification. Together, we are committed to fostering resilience and hope within our community.
