Our food programs provide nutritious meals that address
food insecurity in Des Moines.
More than 14 percent of individuals in Des Moines are food insecure, meaning they may not know where their next meal will come from.
Every day thousands of adults and children often do not know how or where they will get their next meal.
We strive to provide the most nutritious food possible in order to improve the health and well-being of people in our community.
Our food pantries at Temple and Citadel provide 10,000 families in the Des Moines area with nutritious food every year, and our mobile breakfast service feeds another 1,000 homeless and low-income individuals each week.
