RWD30 Decorah Community Food Pantry - Matt Tapscott & Steven Zittergruen

To close out our first season of “Rhymes With Decorah” we’re featuring a conversation with Decorah Community Food Pantry director Matt Tapscott and President of the DCFP Board Steven Zittergruen. This incredible resource, based in Decorah, is a faith-based, non-profit charity organization, serving thousands of clients who need food and other basic essentials each year in NE Iowa.

(*Monetary donations are by far the most impactful way to support the organization, as they are able to multiply those donations in bulk purchasing, but staple food donations are always welcome, including; Pasta, Peanut Butter, Flour, Cooking Oil, Sugar, Cereal, Butter, etc. Unopened toiletry and sanitary items are also always welcome donations.)

The Decorah Community Food Pantry offers high quality food for clients at no charge, 5 days a week from their location at 110 Railroad Street (on the “back” side of the Spectrum Network building). The volunteer-driven organization operates through the support and structure of more than 20 area faith communities that have combined forces over the years to provide this incredible regional resource.

The organization originally started as a ministry of First Lutheran Church in 1996 and has grown leaps and bounds since through a collective effort. In 2017 the Food Pantry was incorporated as an independent 501C3 non-profit organization, with a full board of directors who share the mission of eradicating hunger and food-access issues in our Community.

We are very grateful not only to Matt and Steven for taking the time for this conversation, but for all of the volunteers, visionaries, and businesses that support this valuable community resource.
