The Bethesda Community Food Pantry is an initiative of Bethesda
Lutheran Church in Ames to help ensure that everyone in Story County
has enough to eat. Bethesda Lutheran Church provides the facility and
utilities, with community partners providing support through donations of
money, food, and volunteer hours.
HOW TO HELP
Many groups regularly give to the food pantry, both financial contributions
and donations of food. Ames letter carriers participate in an annual food
drive each May, and some of those donations come to Bethesda. The
same is true of Boy Scout troops, Iowa State University student
organizations, neighborhood groups, businesses, and hundreds of
individuals.
Faith Based, Food Pantry Within the past year, the Bethesda Community Food Pantry has received
donations from 20 Ames area businesses, 20 different congregations, 19
civic groups, 9 ISU employee-student groups, 4 non-ISU public agencies,
and 7 schools and youth programs.
