The government of Warren County works to alleviate hunger through the Warren County General Assistance Program, the Warren County Nutrition Program and the Warren County Health Services.
Warren County General Assistance provides assistance to Warren County residents who meet county guidelines. General Assistance follows the guidelines set forth in the county ordinance established by the Warren County Board of Supervisors. Assistance is given to the needy and poor who are unable to get assistance from other sources or that assistance is being delayed. Applicants must apply for all possible state and federal programs they may qualify for in order to receive assistance and comply with these programs.
Warren County Nutrition collaborates with the Iowa Department on Aging and Aging Resources of Central Iowa to host congregate meal sites in Carlisle, Indianola, Lacona, Martensdale & New Virginia. The program serves nutritious meals in a friendly environment to adults age 60 + for $ 3.50. People under 60 may participate at the cost of $ 8.88 per meal. Call 515-318- 3946( Alice Brito) for more information or to make a reservation 24 hours in advance.
