Three ways to donate

Just like an old-fashioned potluck, all of us bring something different to the table: a new perspective, a food donation, an authentic voice, a unique network of connections. So, pull up a chair.

At our table, you can become an ingredient for change in the food system.

No matter how big or small, every donation partner makes an impact on the Des Moines community.
