The Pella Community Food Shelf aims to be a resource for those in need throughout the area considering many challenges households are facing during a time of increased cost.

Executive Director Melissa Zula says in a typical year, July and August tend to be the highest months in terms of demand for food and supplies.

Zula says any families in need of school supplies should contact the Pella Community Food Shelf to ensure they are ready for classes to begin. At this time, Zula says the best way to support those projects is through monetary donations, which can be done via check or by Venmo.
