DES MOINES, Iowa - The Justice League of Food is offering bulk food at wholesale prices during the month of April.
The non profit (501c3) organization that normally serves homeless people has partnered with four other organizations for a pop-up food pantry that it says will offer high-quality commercial food products at the lowest possible price.
The curbside pick-up service of the food will take place during six days in April at The Foundry in West Des Moines (at 111 South 11th Street). The Foundry Distilling Company, which has been offering free hand sanitizer during the COVID-19 pandemic, will offer free hand sanitizer with food purchases of $50.00 or more.
The bulk food can be ordered and coordinated for pickup through the app of The Hall. Performance Food Service is also providing bulk food for the pop-up food pantry. The Justice League of Food says the pantry is intended to reduce trips to the grocery store, encourage people to share food with their neighbors and help people who can't afford to by food during the pandemic.
