Greetings from the Clarke Schools Food Pantry! There have been some new, exciting developments that we would like to share with you! We recently began a partnership with the Food Bank of Iowa. This means we will be getting new inventory every two weeks. We are still welcoming and grateful for any donations we receive! Beginning on Monday, June 26 all Clarke families are welcome to shop for their own food, so you can pick the food your family would enjoy most! You will no longer be receiving a bag at the door. If you need assistance shopping, we are happy to accommodate. With our new system, when you come for the first time, on or after June 26, there will be a short survey for you to complete. We will have wonderful volunteers available on Monday to support this transition. Both English and Spanish speaking volunteers will be present. A couple huge shout outs- thank you to Faith Fellowship Youth Ministry and Thomas Kedley for helping unload and organize our record-breaking first order. Thank you also to Osceola Parks and Recreation staff (Dan Cooper, Taylor Andrew, Mike Lewis and Brock Nall), Marcus Kious and Derek Van Blarcom for helping unload and install our heavy, new double refrigerator! The Clarke Schools Food Pantry is open Mondays from 4:00-5:00pm and is located in the Clarke Central Office Building. It is free and open to all Clarke Schools families.

Due to impending weather, softball will play Varsity first tonight. Good Luck Ladies!
