Our DMIEC community works to address food insecurity issues in the Des Moines metro area via a special collection for the DMARC Emergency Food Pantries on the fourth Sunday of every month.
The need is real. Last month saw an all-time record, with 28,664 individuals served. 2,199 individuals visited the one of the DMARC pantries for the first time in October. Please see additional information on October usage here.
For more information, please visit the DMARC Food Pantries website https://www.dmarcunited.org/food/
