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.  October 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/  Read DMARC’s most recent quarterly newsletter here.

Here are two ways to donate:

• Via special envelopes available at DMIEC on in-person fourth Sundays. Please write checks to “DMARC,” include a note with/on your check indicating that you are part of the DMIEC community, put the check in the envelope, and put the envelope in the collection basket.
• Send donation checks directly to DMARC. Please write checks to “DMARC” and mail to DMARC at its *new address,* 100 Army Post Road, Des Moines, IA 50315. Please include a note with your check indicating that you are part of the DMIEC community.
