A local food pantry is receiving a sizable donation from U.S. Cellular.

The communications company has announced a $5,000 donation to the Coralville Food Pantry in the form of commercial grade kitchen equipment to support the organization’s “More Than a Pantry” building campaign. The project includes a 5,000-square-foot addition that would allow for substantial food storage, an easy-to-navigate shopping area, an educational garden, a patio with picnic tables, a community fridge, and an outdoor cooking area for grill outs and pizza nights.  The equipment includes a Big Green Egg smoker, a Big Green Egg smoker stand, Big Green Egg commercial accessories, a commercial double fryer, a rice cooker, a Vitamix Food Processor and a Vitamix Mixer.

This holiday season, U.S. Cellular retail stores will also be collecting donations for local food-focused nonprofits.
