Excel, Inc. will be our February First Sunday collection recipient.

Excel, Inc. was founded in Mississippi in 1988 with the purpose of furthering education, promoting community building, encouraging community service, and fostering healthy lives. Many programs serve the local community, including a Certified Nurses’ Assistant program. Students get an initiation to the CNA program plus a start on classes at the local community college. Our donations will help pay students’ tuition plus equip them with the supplies they need for this education-to-work program. For more info, please visit their website: https://excelcommons.com.

CHECKS SHOULD BE MAILED TO:

DMIEC, P.O. Box 30065, Des Moines, IA  50310

Checks can be written either to “Excel, Inc.” (mention DMIEC in the memo line) or to “DMIEC” with “First Sunday” in the memo line.

While we would prefer that all checks be mailed to DMIEC, if you mail your check directly to the organization, please inform Ed Arnold of the amount, if you feel comfortable, so the Social Justice Committee can get an accurate count of donations.  Thank you for your generosity.
