Great Thanksgiving at Hope Ministries!

Thank you so much to those of you who volunteered on Thanksgiving Day, both on-site and as delivery driver teams. Thanks also to those who provided food donations to help us serve and deliver over 2,000 meals on Thanksgiving!

Two Thanksgiving Day meal needs

Good morning, M25 Volunteers,

As you may know, we've put out a special call for food donations for our upcoming Thanksgiving Day meal during which we will serve 300 people on-site and deliver more than 2,000 meals out into the community.

We're noticing a great need for two items in particular:

  • Dinner rolls
  • Brownies
If this is something you would be able to provide, please feel free to call us at (515) 265-7272 for more details. Donations can be delivered to our Bethel Mission facility (1310 6th Avenue) anytime now through Thanksgiving. They can also be delivered during our pre-Thanksgiving donation delivery day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, November 23, at our Bethel Mission.

Thank you for your help!
