We are amazed at this community, you’ve inspired even more good news

Last month over 10,000 Iowa kids received food assistance from the DMARC Food Pantry Network. Not only was this the busiest month on record for the network (nearly 30,000 people were assisted) but for the growing number of households facing economic hardship, our Network is a lifeline.

For these working families, every penny counts. That’s why your response to this growing need has amazed us so much… The generosity of this community has blown away our expectations and it’s prompted others to want to do even more. 

DMARC is proud to announce a NEW and 2nd matching gifts campaign of $150,000 to help those struggling with food insecurity.  The campaign will commence today, Monday, December 9^th and will end December 31^st, thanks to the Ernest and Florence Sargent Family Foundation. 

DMARC is grateful to the Sargent family for making this second match possible and helping to meet the unprecedented food insecurity in our community, affecting families and children more than at any other time.  We appreciate and commend your long-term commitment to serve people of diverse backgrounds.

10,496 IOWA KIDS

Over 10,000 young people ages 0-17 were assisted by the DMARC Food Pantry Network during the month of November. Before this fall, we had previously never broken that threshold.
