Food pantry volunteers hard at work

A visit to the food pantry in Ida Grove found volunteers hard at work preparing bags of food to go to those in need. A couple of patrons there said why they need to come there for food. One man said he is a single parent and finances are hard being a single parent. He has a full-time job but needs extra food to offset the budget. Another woman says she is on disability and cannot work. She gets food stamps but they just do not go very far. She has a teenage son and he needs food, for he is a growing boy.
