2013 MLK Day of Service: Collecting for the Urbandale Food Pantry

January 21, 2013 | 9am to 2pm
Urbandale Public Library Meeting Room
3520 - 86th St., Urbandale, Iowa


Since the first event in January 2009, then called Give Care * Warmth * Art, we have collected over 5,000 items for the Urbandale Food Pantry

On January 21, 2013, bring:
  • new (unused, unopened, and unexpired) food and personal care items
  • warm scarves and hats (especially hand-knitted) 
  • monetary gifts 
to help the Urbandale Food Pantry serve Urbandale and Windsor Heights residents in need.   
Thanks to the Urbandale Public Library for again hosting our event in its Meeting Room.

Knitting Together

We invite knitters to come and knit with us for awhile (or just drop off your handknitted scarves, etc.).

Coloring Together

When you stop in that day, take a moment to color and sign a message of hope for our neighbors who visit the Urbandale Food Pantry.

Pledging Action

Pledge to take action against hunger and food insecurity during 2013.


AND for Urbandale Library Patrons:  

Food for Fines
1 item = $1 in fines

Every 1 donated food or new personal care item = $1 in fines on one patron account at the Urbandale Public Library. NO LIMIT on number of items!

Thank you for helping our neighbors in need!
