“I have never attended services at this church; I went, with two friends, to the monthly food pantry. The best food pantry in Winterset, and by far the best organized. We were even given small bags of snack chips for our short wait in line. A volunteer takes a small amount of information from you (name, household size, etc), gives you a number, and in a very short time another volunteer calls your number and accompanies you through several rooms with a shopping cart and bags. You're allowed to select X number of items from shelves in each room AND several freezers and refrigerators. I was told to choose three (yes, three) from the frozen meats available, and I chose breakfast sausage, catfish fillets and chicken thighs. Got eggs (18-pack) from the cooler. The boxed and canned goods and perishables were of a good variety. Last stop was baked goods: breads and pastries, most with a use-by date that matched the day (Thursday) we attended, and fresh produce.Another volunteer accompanied us to our vehicle and loaded it in for us.All in all, very well organized, good selection, and friendly people who let you know you're welcome to attend services, but don't push it on you.”
