Making a Food Pantry Appointment

Nazareth strives to know Christ, grow in Chirst, and make Christ known – one way we share the blessing of God's love is to support the community by providing the opportunity to receive food and other essentials from our Food Pantry. To receive a Pantry Box, you must schedule an appointment by emailing peg.merfeld@naz.org or calling the Church Office at 319-266-7589, Monday - Thursday, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm, or Fridays, 9:00 am-noon. Please note that Nazareth can only schedule an appointment for your household once every 30 days to ensure we're able to help all neighbors in our community.

​

You can also make an appointment through our missions partner, LOVE INC of the Cedar Valley. Appointments can be made with LOVE INC Monday - Thursday between 9:00 am - noon by calling 319-266-7589. Scheduling through LOVE INC provide additional benefits including a delivery option for Pantry Boxes, and LOVE INC'S partnership with other churches to help with other needs.
