HyVee partnered with the Pella Food Shelf on Saturday to provide a boost to the non-profit before its big move.
They held a food drive to fill the Pella Food Shelf before they relocated to The Well Thrift Store. Executive Director of the Food Shelf Melissa Zula says they appreciate the support, but more is needed to get them ready to serve more families next month.
“It’s a tremendous space, we’ve grown about three times about three times of our size, which is huge, as it’s close to 3000 square feet,” Zula says. “We’ve added a walk in cooler and freezer, which will allow us to take in greater amounts of produce, meat, and bread which all families need.”
Zula says they are look for additional food and monetary donations. KNIA/KRLS was broadcasting live from the Pella HyVee in the Lil’ Big Red Radio.
