The holiday season is upon us and your support is making a huge difference in helping us continue to meet the growing need here in the Des Moines Metro. As we approach the holiday season, DMARC is incredibly grateful for all of those who have supported our mission during what has been a hectic end of the year.
If you would like to continue to support our efforts to provide millions of pounds of food to our neighbors in the Des Moines metro, you can make a donation online here.
