Library Opens Food Pantry for Community | Cedar Rapids News

The Marion Public Library just launched a food pantry on the main floor—right beside the movies and music—offering free groceries to anyone in the community during regular hours. Funded by local grants, community donations, and partnerships with HACAP and the Marion Public Library Foundation, this initiative turns the library into a vital community hub. With support from the Diamond V Fund, Bloomhall Family Fund, and Iowa DNR, the pantry is more than just food—it’s a symbol of collective care. Drop off non-perishables at the donation bin near the fridge and freezer to help keep it stocked.
