Food Pantry and Clothing Closet

The food pantry continues to be one of the busiest food pantries in the Quad Cities! For the past several months, the food pantry & clothing closet have served over 100 families each week. The Food Pantry & Clothing Closet are open every Saturday from 11 am – 1 pm, even holiday weekends.

Volunteers are needed every week to load food from River Bend Food Bank at 8:30 am as well as unload the food from River Bend Food Bank at All Saints. The schedule to unload the load at the church is every Friday at 9:15 am except the week of the third Thursday which will be 9:30 am. Hy-Vee on Devils Glen Road in Bettendorf donates day-old bread to All Saints on Saturdays. This bread needs to be picked up after 7:30 am and delivered to church no later than 10 am. Help is appreciated for this as well!

The food pantry needs toilet paper, bars of individually wrapped soap, toothpaste, laundry detergent, peanut butter, spaghetti sauce & noodles, soup, and plastic grocery bags.

The clothing closet needs winter attire in all sizes (kids and adults) and blankets.

Non-monetary donations are received Fridays between 9:30 and 10:00 am, Saturdays between 10:30 am and 1:00 pm, or Sundays between 9:15 am and 11:15 am. If these times don’t work call Bonnie, Anne, or the office to coordinate. If you would like to donate monetarily, please send a check to All Saints Lutheran Church (5002 Jersey Ridge Road, Davenport, IA 52807) with food pantry marked on the memo line.

Thank you for all the volunteers who work tirelessly each week, whether that is when we are open to the public or during the week to prepare! Many hands make light work. – John Heywood
