Capital City Fruit donated over 8,000 pounds to the Des Moines Area Religious Council Food Pantry in late April.  The Pantry, in turn, moved the strawberries through their network of 12 pantry sites throughout the Des Moines area.

"We knew the Pantry could use these nutritious, delicious berries and saw a great opportunity to help the needy in our community," noted Brendan Comito, Chief Operations Officer for Capital City Fruit.  "The people that utilize the Food Pantry have limited access to fresh fruit and vegetables, so we were delighted to help!"
