Our Next Meet Up…

What is a DMARC Ambassador?
Become an ambassador for the 70,000+ people in the Des Moines Metro seeking out the DMARC Food Pantry Network.
DMARC ambassadors meet once a quarter to work together and invite the community to get involved with our mission. These are volunteers that love to host a party and love to give back even when they have a busy schedule!
There are no time requirements other than a willingness to learn about your community, how DMARC helps, and how others can get involved too, whether they be friends, co-workers, your faith community or others.
