The Catholic Charities Outreach Center (1815 Hubbell Avenue) is closed Thursday, March 13 and Friday, March 14.
We’re helping meet the growing need through 14 partner food pantry sites, a mobile food pantry, and our no-cost home delivery program.
We’re fighting food insecurity in Iowa by advocating for policy and providing education and research on the causes, effects, and solutions.
DMARC is a multi-faith collaboration working to meet basic needs in the Des Moines community and educate each other on various faith traditions.
Cost of food remains just one piece of a larger emerging crisis around the cost of living that is pushing people to seek out help.
“It isn’t happening miles away. Even if you can’t see it, food insecurity could be affecting your neighbors, your co-worker, or even your friends and family.”
Matt Unger, CEO of DMARC

When you come in here the people are so friendly. They don’t treat you like you are less than, they treat you like they’re glad you are here.
